دریچه های هیدروترمال یک پیش ماده ژئوشیمیایی ATP را تامین می کنند که می تواند حیات اولیه را تامین کند

Hydrothermal vents supply a geochemical precursor of ATP that could have powered early life

Where did the energy come from to power the chemical origin of life, and how did phosphate come to be the universal energy currency of cells? Biologists from the Institute of Molecular Evolution at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have uncovered a new source of energy that drove primordial chemical reactions on the early Earth forward to kick-start metabolism. Their findings, now published in The FEBS…
