| Research Seminar: Origin of Life | |
| Lecture language | English |
| Summary of Lecture: | We are trying to understand the origin of life as a physicochemical problem. For this, will review the idea of a pre-biological world in which spontaneously formed RNA molecules possessed both information coding abilities and enzymatic activity. Specifically, we will discuss requirements of molecular systems to propagate information by replication in a sustainable manner. Relevant to this are kinetics and the thermodynamic fingerprint of RNA reactions in specific physical environments. An interesting, yet not fully understood point here is the relation between thermodynamics and evolution. |
