New Delhi: The origins of life on Earth have so far been explored in many ways. Now, Indian-origin chemist Ramnarayan Krishnamurthy has made some new revelations and claims about this at Scripps Research, California. He says that a mixture of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) led to the creation of life on our planet. Krishnamurthy demonstrated that a simple compound, also called dithiophosphate, was present on Earth before life where it has been discovered that these were chemically linked together to form small DNA building blocks called deoxynucleosides. Properties of the first DNA have also been found in them. This newly described chemical reaction could have assembled small DNA building blocks before life came into existence. This research has been published in the science journal Engenwandteme Chemie.
The mixture of the two led to the birth of life on Earth: The research found suggests the latest series of discoveries that point to the possibility that DNA and the closest RNA as products of similar chemical reactions have been seen together, and the mixture of these two started life on earth.
More extensive research on the origins of life on Earth will pave the way: It is also being said that Krishnamurthy, the senior author of the research and Associate Professor of Chemistry at Scripps Research, said that the discovery of the development of a detailed chemical model there is an important step in the direction of how the first life on earth is being generated. Not only this, the most important thing is that this is going to pave the way for more extensive research about the origin of life on earth by mixing DNA and RNA which will be able to know how life spread to other parts.
