May 28, 2024 · A new study demonstrates that just a handful of “forgotten” biochemical reactions are needed to transform simple geochemical compounds into the complex molecules of life. The origin of life on Earth has long been a mystery that has eluded scientists.
May 29, 2024 · This research shows that forgotten biochemical reactions, once considered extinct, can still play a vital role in the evolution of life. The study highlights the adaptability and complexity of life’s chemistry. The experts believe we can rediscover and repurpose ancient biochemical reactions.
May 29, 2024 · Louis Pasteur (born December 27, 1822, Dole, France—died September 28, 1895, Saint-Cloud) was a French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. Pasteur’s contributions to science, technology, and medicine are nearly without precedent.

Mar 27, 2021 · Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.
3 days ago · Evolution, theory in biology postulating that the various types of living things on Earth have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory of evolution is one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory.
May 30, 2024 · Evolution of Early Earth’s Biochemistry. The early Earth was rich in simple compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and carbon dioxide – molecules not usually associated with sustaining life. But, billions of years ago, early life relied on these simple molecules as a raw material source.
