About 4 billion years ago, Earth was developing suitable conditions for life to live. But scientists often wonder whether the composition, structure, properties, and dynamics of substances found on the early Earth were similar to the composition, structure, properties, etc. that life needs in modern times. Scientists know that fat accumulation is round in shape. called a protocell It is the precursor of cells during the formation of life. But how did simple protocells first arise and diversify to lead to the emergence of life on Earth?
Scientists state that Phosphates are present in almost every chemical reaction in the body. And it is thought that protocells are made from fatty acids. Recently, a team of scientists from the Scripps Institute in the united states One way has been discovered that may indicate the possibility of how protocells may have first formed and how this type of lipid has evolved in composition, structure, properties, etc. to be able to function in a variety of ways. The team explains that it is a chemical process called phosphorylation. (phosphorylation) where a phosphate group is added to the molecule It may happen sooner than previously expected. and will lead to protocells with more complex structures in terms of being able to maintain chemical reactions and share functions
The team revealed that phosphates can be incorporated into cell-like structures faster than previously thought. It is possible that this laid the foundation for the creation of life. This discovery helps to better understand the environment, composition, structure, properties, and changes of substances in the early Earth.
