How did chemical constituents essential to life arise on primitive Earth?

10-30-2007 · EurekAlert!

Chemists at the University of Georgia have now proposed the first detailed, feasible mechanism to explain how adenine, one of the four building blocks of DNA, might be built up from the combination of five cyanide molecules. The investigation is based on extensive quantum chemical computations over several years.

B12 Is Also an Essential Vitamin for Marine Life
05-18-2007 · Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)
B12—an essential vitamin for land-dwelling animals, including humans—also turns out to be an essential ingredient for growing marine plants that are critical to the ocean food web and Earth's climate, scientists have found.

Scientists propose the kind of chemistry that led to life
06-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Before life emerged on earth, either a primitive kind of metabolism or an RNA-like duplicating machinery must have set the stage -- so experts believe. But what preceded these pre-life steps?

Massive dinosaur discovered in Antarctica sheds light on life, distribution of sauropodomorphs
12-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new genus and species of dinosaur from the Jurassic has been discovered in Antarctica. The massive plant-eating primitive sauropodomorph is called Glacialisaurus hammeri and lived about 190 million years ago. The fossils were painstakingly removed from the ice and rock using jackhammers, rock saws and chisels under extremely difficult conditions over two field seasons. The long-necked herbivorous sauropods were the largest animals to walk the earth. They include Diplodocus and Apatosaurus.

Life cycle assessment essential to nanotech commercial development
03-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Life cycle assessment (LCA) —a cradle-to-grave look at the health and environmental impact of a material, chemical, or product—is an essential tool for ensuring the safe, responsible, and sustainable commercialization of nanotechnology, U.S. and European experts conclude in a new report issued today.

U-M scientists develop tool to probe role of oxidative stress in aging, disease
02-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
Oxygen, although essential for human life, can turn into an aggressive chemical that is outright toxic to important molecules inside our cells. This "oxidative stress" is associated with many diseases, such as Alzheimer's, heart disease and cancer, and has been suggested to be the culprit underlying aging.

Lost City pumps life-essential chemicals at rates unseen at typical black smokers
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
Hydrocarbons -- molecules critical to life -- are being generated by the simple interaction of seawater with the rocks under the Lost City hydrothermal vent field in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Being able to produce building blocks of life makes Lost City-like vents even stronger contenders as places where life might have originated on Earth.

Acid oceans warning
10-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
The world's oceans are becoming more acid, with potentially devastating consequences for corals and the marine organisms that build reefs and provide much of the Earth's breathable oxygen. The acidity is caused by the gradual buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, dissolving into the oceans. Scientists fear it could be lethal for animals with chalky skeletons which make up more than a third of the planet's marine life.

Seismic images show dinosaur-killing meteor made bigger splash
01-23-2008 · EurekAlert!
The most detailed 3-D seismic images yet of the Chicxulub impact crater may modify a theory explaining the "KT Extinction Event" that wiped out most life on Earth, including the dinosaurs. According to research appearing in Nature Geosciences, the asteroid landed in deeper water than previously assumed and therefore released about 6.5 times more water vapor into the atmosphere, possibly making it deadlier by altering climate and generating acid rain.

Health care system for aging nerve cells
03-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Uncontrolled neuronal death in the brain often gives rise to neurodegenerative illnesses like Parkinson or Alzheimer disease. Whether or not neurons have a long and healthy life is, apart from other factors, determined by the presence of neurotrophic factors. Scientists of the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology have now provided unambiguous proof that the presence of the neurotrophic factor GDNF and its receptor Ret are essential for the survival of neurons in a specific brain region.

Overstretched armed forces leading to mental health problems
08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Prolonged periods of deployment among Britain's armed forces is associated with mental health problems, finds a study published online today.Deployment is an essential ingredient of military life. However, research shows that an increase in the pace of military operations "operational tempo" may have an effect on health and place strain on families.
