Non-enzymatic RNA Copying in Carbonate Lakes - Resolving Challenges for the Origin of Life
Offered By: UW Astrobiology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a groundbreaking presentation on the origin of life as Zack Cohen delves into non-enzymatic RNA copying in carbonate lakes. Discover how this research addresses key challenges in understanding life's beginnings, offering new insights into the potential role of RNA replication in early Earth environments. Learn about the chemical processes that may have facilitated the emergence of self-replicating systems in prehistoric carbonate lakes, and gain a deeper understanding of the conditions that could have supported the transition from prebiotic chemistry to the first forms of life.
