Researchers Found Mechanism behind Origin of Life on Early Earth

Researchers in the fourth week of November 2012 discovered a molecular network with a capability of self perpetuation that could have triggered mechanism through which life developed on early Earth. The mathematical research shows the possible mechanism through which it was possible for life to get a foothold in chemical soup which existed on early Earth.

The researchers suggested about various competing theories regarding the starting of life on earth much before first genes or the living cells developed. There are certain differences in these suggested scenarios but one thing that is common is the network of molecules. These molecules have a capability of working together as well as pacing their replication. These are the two important things for starting life.
 
Researchers from the University Of Canterbury, New Zealand made use of the mathematical model for easy chemical reactions in order to demonstrate that these networks could be formed easily than what other researchers thought.

On looking at the structure of these networks of molecules it was found that they are actually composed of the smaller subsets of these molecules. When combined, split or recombined using their own subunits, these subsets of the molecules could possibly lead to large as well as complex chemical reactions or maybe even life.

The result of the research could have a huge impact on how people thought life originated from the pure chemistry.
