Scientists Make Fantastic Discovery of the Missing Link That Helped Create Life on Earth

2The roadmap to life was yet to be discovered

Scientists the world over have struggled to locate a roadmap of the journey called the origin of life studying biological chemistry and cell based biochemistry but the answer has always proved elusive. Krishnamurthy says that it was very hard to even think about rather imagine a common meeting ground for these three life producing processes to meet and combine to form the first primitive life forms. The researchers which included Megha Karki also revealed that DAP had the ability to phosphorylate all the four nucleosides which could then have easily formed the first building blocks of RNA in liquid such as water or as a paste-like state under various temperatures and Earth conditions.

The constant activity of DAP also led to the formation of RNA chains of phosphorylated building blocks that led to life. Krishnamurthy went on to add that under idle conditions, DAO and water when combined could yield the three most important classes of pre-biological molecules that combined and underwent a transformation that soon created opportunities for further chemical interaction.

3Is science now on the correct route to finding the answers?

It seems that science is well and truly on the right part to find the missing answers to link up various theories that could soon give rise to the ultimate answer of life itself. Hypothesis and theories do exist where elements such as the Higgs boson were known to have existed but yet were not discovered. That of course is a thing of the recent past and now DAP the missing link discovered which will help explain the origins of life on Earth.

The team of scientists included co first authors Clémentine Gibard, Ph.D., Subhendu Bhowmik, Ph.D., and Megha Karki, Ph.D. The trio are postdoctoral research associates at the Scripps Research Institute in California. It was this trio that discovered how DAP could phosphorylate each of the four nucleosides which are building blocks of RNA in elements like water.
