Viral Activity In Lake Analogs Of Anoxic Early Earth Oceans

Background Meromictic lakes, with their stratified water columns, are modern analogs for ancient euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) oceans, where anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing purple and green sulfur bacteria (PSB and GSB) dominated as primary producers. Recent studies suggest a potential role of viruses in the metabolisms and biosignatures of these bacteria, but conclusive evidence of viral replication [...]The post Viral Activity In Lake Analogs Of Anoxic Early Earth Oceans appeared first on Astrobiology.

Physicists test quantum theory with atomic nuclei from a nuclear reaction

Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, it is trillions of times stronger than Earth's field and more comparable to that of a neutron star. Whether we understand the behavior of an electron in such strong fields is still an open question.

On The Role Of α-alumina In The Origin Of Life: Surface-driven Assembly Of Amino Acids

We investigate the hypothesis that mineral/water interfaces played a crucial catalytic role in peptide formation by promoting the self-assembly of amino acids. Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that the α-alumina(0001) surface exhibits an affinity of 4 kBT for individual glycine or GG dipeptide molecules due to hydrogen bonds. In simulations with multiple glycine [...]The post On The Role Of α-alumina In The Origin Of Life: Surface-driven Assembly Of Amino Acids appeared first on Astrobiology.
