Formaldehyde and ammonia as precursors to prebiotic amino acids.
Fig. 3. Inhibition of binding of ['4C]pentobarbital to rabbit antiserum by nonradioactive pentobarbital in buffered saline (0 0 *), plasma (0 O), or urine (X X). Incubation medium consisted of 0.10 ml of normal rabbit serum, 0.10 nml of rabbit antiserum (0.4 mg of protein), 0.01 ml of ['4C]pentobarbital (O.1 nmole), and 0.01 ml of either standard unlabeled pentobarbital (1 to 100 ng) or unknown...
متن کاملPrebiotic synthesis of hydrophobic and protein amino acids.
The formation of amino acids by the action of electric discharges on a mixture of methane, nitrogen, and water with traces of ammonia was studied in detail. The presence of glycine, alanine, alpha-amino-n-butyric acid, alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, valine, norvaline, isovaline, leucine, isoleucine, alloisoleucine, norleucine, proline, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, threonine, allothreonine...
متن کاملPrebiotic Assembly of Nucleic Acids
The ideal scientist is one who thinks like a poet, but works like a bookkeeper. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Nick Hud, who over the years helped me develop my passion for science. The opportunity to work in his lab on the chemical origins of life was an eye-opening experience that will continue to influence my career for many years to come. I would also like t...
متن کاملAmyloid Aggregates Arise from Amino Acid Condensations under Prebiotic Conditions.
Current theories on the origin of life reveal significant gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms that allowed simple chemical precursors to coalesce into the complex polymers that are needed to sustain life. The volcanic gas carbonyl sulfide (COS) is known to catalyze the condensation of amino acids under aqueous conditions, but the reported di-, tri-, and tetra-peptides are too short to s...
متن کاملChiral Sugars Drive Enantioenrichment in Prebiotic Amino Acid Synthesis
Chiral pentose sugars mediate the enantioselective synthesis of amino acid precursors, with the magnitude of the chiral induction dictated by a subtle cooperativity between sugar hydroxyl groups. Ribose and lyxose give opposite chiral preferences, and theoretical calculations reveal the pseudoenantiomeric nature of transition state structures from the two sugars. Prebiotically plausible mixture...
