The Genomic Potential Hypothesis : A Chemist's View of the by Christian Schwabe

By Christian Schwabe

The Genomic strength speculation is a biochemist's view of the foundation, evolution, and improvement of existence. The arguments given during this booklet query the previous rationalization in an effort to make room for brand spanking new suggestions on the sight of a similar facts. it truly is extensively authorized that there's no option to evidence a speculation, yet a present speculation may be disproved while technological know-how has pushed improvement past the basis of the outdated version. So it occurs that an identical information can be awarded with a brand new interpretation and that too isn't unusual in an international that used to be commonly flat recently. Evolution is the ripening of the embryonic quasi stem cells of every beginning which started to remodel, staff by way of staff, into the ultimate phenotype within the Cambrian, the least advanced ones being first to make their fossil imprint. as soon as verified species don't department or adapt past physiological limits. under pressure past those limits a species will endure extinction. Mutations aren't a mechanism to provide new organisms. hence there aren't any intermediate varieties and the evolutionary timber are a picture created via the sequential ripening of pro-forms and their swift upward thrust into the fossil scene.

Sample text

While this concept applies to molecular interactions in general, there is nowhere a more impressive demonstration of a principle that is central to life and central to the Genomic Potential Hypothesis than this threshold of information production. Fig. 7. This figure illustrates the chemistry of memory. The process is quite well known, but in the new hypothesis it is given the attention it deserves. The monomers of DNA designated as containing “no information,” of course, do have the information for self-assembly.

The relative stability and accurate reproducibility of the nucleic acids that would eventually become the genome would guarantee the continuous production of proteins under biological as well as prebiological conditions. Nucleic acids were the original template from which everything else derives. They are the reason for the variety of life forms, the uniformity of basic functions, and the stability of species. It follows that the coding machinery must have come into existence in the prebiotic world in order to produce the catalytic peptides to support minimal metabolic activity and communication at the moment of cell formation.

In addition, phosphorus is used as “currency” in biological energy transfers. The argument has been made by Edsall8 and later by Wald,9 but the message was lost on biologists. Everything seems to be logical in the context of chemistry. The important atomic characters can be displayed such as to reveal the reasons for self-association in an orderly fashion. From a purely mechanistic point of view we need something that will cause inanimate matter to stick together to produce, over and over again, similar structures and variations thereof.
