“Sea Water” Supplemented with Calcium Phosphate and Magnesium Sulfate in a Long-Term Miller-Type Experiment Yields Sugars, Nucleic Acids Bases, Nucleosides, Lipids, Amino Acids, and Oligopeptides

Abstract: The standard approach to exploring prebiotic chemistry is to use a small number of highly purified reactants and to attempt to optimize the conditions required to produce a particular end product. However, purified reactants do not exist in nature. We have previously proposed that what drives prebiotic evolution are complex chemical ecologies. Therefore, we have begun to explore what happens if one substitutes “sea water”, with its complex mix of minerals and salts, for distilled water in the classic Miller ex… Show more

“…They are found in meteorites and they are formed under prebiotically plausible conditions. [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53] All RNA strands were purified by HPLC and characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) (Tables S1-S2).…”

“…Wir haben uns auf Val, Ala und Thr konzentriert, von denen man annimmt, dass sie frühe Aminosäuren waren. Sie werden in Meteoriten gefunden und können unter präbiotisch plausiblen Bedingungen entstehen [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53] . Alle RNA‐Stränge wurden mittels HPLC aufgereinigt und durch MALDI‐TOF‐Massenspektrometrie (Tabellen S1‐S2 ) charakterisiert.…”
