Seafloor Chemistry: Life's building blocks made inorganically

02-02-2008 · Science News Online

Hydrocarbons in fluids spewing from hydrothermal vents on the seafloor in the central Atlantic were produced by inorganic chemical reactions deep within the ocean crust, a finding with implications for the possible origins of life.

A new wrinkle in evolution -- Man-made proteins
05-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Nature, through the trial and error of evolution, has discovered a vast diversity of life from a primordial pool of building blocks. Inspired by this success, a new Biodesign Institute research team, led by John Chaput, is now trying to mimic the process of Darwinian evolution in the laboratory by evolving new proteins from scratch. Using new tricks of molecular biology, Chaput and co-workers have evolved several new proteins in a fraction of the three billion years it took nature.

Technique controls nanoparticle size, makes large numbers
12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Pratim Biswas of Washington University in St. Louis conducts research on nanoparticles, which are the building blocks for nanotechnology. For the first time, Biswas has shown that he can independently control the size of the nanoparticles that he makes, keeping their other properties the same. He's also shown with his technique that the nanoparticles can be made in large quantities in scalable systems, opening up the possibility for more applications and different techniques.

Building blocks of life formed on Mars
12-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and form the building blocks of all life on Earth. By analyzing organic material and minerals in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001, scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have shown for the first time that building blocks of life formed on Mars early in its history. Scientists have thought that organics in ALH 84001 was brought to Mars by meteorite impacts or originated from ancient Martian microbes.

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.

Speed plays crucial role in breaking protein's H-bonds
10-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at MIT studying the architecture of proteins have finally explained why computer models of proteins' behavior under mechanical duress differ dramatically from experimental observations. This work could have vast implications in bioengineering and medical research by advancing our understanding of the relationship between structure and function in these basic building blocks of life.

Red dust in planet-forming disk may harbor precursors to life
01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
Astronomers at the Carnegie Institution have found the first indications of highly complex organic molecules in the disk of red dust surrounding a distant star. The eight-million-year-old star, known as HR 4796A, is inferred to be in the late stages of planet formation, suggesting that the basic building blocks of life may be common in planetary systems.

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.

New homes rise from rubbish
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine if you could turn old rubbish into new houses. That's exactly what civil engineer Dr. John Forth in the School of Engineering wants to achieve with the invention of a building block made almost entirely of recycled glass, metal slag, sewage sludge, incinerator ash and pulverised fuel ash from power stations.

Cut from different cloth
11-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
A large survey, made with ESO's VLT, has shed light on our Galaxy's ancestry. After determining the chemical composition of over 2000 stars in the four nearest dwarf galaxies to our own, astronomers have demonstrated fundamental differences in their make-up, casting doubt on the theory that these diminutive galaxies could ever have formed the building blocks of our Milky Way Galaxy.

What light from yonder neutron breaks?
12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and four universities have made the first experimental observation of rare particles of light emitted during the radioactive decay of the neutron, a key building block of matter. This work confirms theoretical predictions of this type of decay of the neutron and sets the stage for a new class of tests of basic theories in particle physics.
