1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:10,839 [Music] 2 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:14,060 my name is Amit a master student at the 3 00:00:19,030 --> 00:00:15,570 Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel 4 00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:19,040 I work with Professor Doron landset and 5 00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:21,270 my talk will be about instead of this 6 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:22,950 and how it fits in the conversation 7 00:00:27,890 --> 00:00:25,350 about the origin of life this talk is 8 00:00:30,170 --> 00:00:27,900 based upon on a paper that was published 9 00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:30,180 yesterday so if you're interested check 10 00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:35,820 it out ok so we have a few theories 11 00:00:40,610 --> 00:00:38,190 about the origin of life they mainly 12 00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:40,620 group into two schools of thought there 13 00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:43,019 is the information first that mostly 14 00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,300 known for the RNA world which describes 15 00:00:49,669 --> 00:00:47,039 the first replicator as a self 16 00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:49,679 propagating RNA by a polymer that's 17 00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:52,409 capable of some catalytic reactions and 18 00:00:56,809 --> 00:00:54,089 then there is the metabolism first which 19 00:01:00,290 --> 00:00:56,819 is more based on metabolic reactions and 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:00,300 it specifically features our origin of 21 00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:02,370 my theories the liquid world theory that 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:04,140 a lab has originated and developed in 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:06,170 the past over the past 20 years and 24 00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:08,250 described the first replicator as 25 00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:09,630 catalytic micelles 26 00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:13,230 of different ante files that are capable 27 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:15,630 of compositional reproduction and I will 28 00:01:19,430 --> 00:01:17,190 talk more about later I will just say 29 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:19,440 for now that these two schools of 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:21,650 thought both have an expensive 31 00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:24,090 experimental body of work supporting 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:26,100 them but the question still remains that 33 00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:28,410 we can't really arbitrate between these 34 00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:29,790 two school of thought because we can't 35 00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,310 go to the environmental engineers and 36 00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:34,560 sample it and determine which theory for 37 00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:36,600 the origin of life is more than cheating 38 00:01:41,690 --> 00:01:40,260 or more truthful what we can do is look 39 00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:41,700 at other prebiotic environments 40 00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:43,950 elsewhere in the universe and determine 41 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:46,710 from the chemistry which theory for the 42 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:48,330 origin of life best describes how life 43 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:50,010 could have emerged in such an 44 00:01:57,410 --> 00:01:54,570 environment so this is a subsection of 45 00:02:00,110 --> 00:01:57,420 Enceladus how we talked about it earlier 46 00:02:03,070 --> 00:02:00,120 it is a moon of Saturn it has a thick 47 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:03,080 icy crust and a global subsurface ocean 48 00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:06,240 underneath it it is an active water body 49 00:02:08,660 --> 00:02:07,620 so there's terminal gradients that 50 00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:08,670 create 51 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:10,920 these plumes that emanate from the ocean 52 00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:13,770 and through the ice holes in the eye 53 00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:16,110 it's an alien space where some of them 54 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:17,880 have washed over Cassini that was sent 55 00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:21,440 to research the Saturnian system and 56 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:24,180 Cassini has a mass spectrometer 57 00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:27,290 instrument on it and has analyzed the 58 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:29,540 constituents of the plumes over its many 59 00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:33,630 flybys and last year the most detailed 60 00:02:39,229 --> 00:02:37,500 analysis of these constitute of these 61 00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:39,239 compounds that were found in the plumes 62 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:43,380 was published and they have reported a 63 00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:45,750 rich organic chemistry in that ocean 64 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:48,060 which makes it our first observation it 65 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,730 detected prebiotic soup it's an active 66 00:02:54,699 --> 00:02:52,080 water body filled with organics so 67 00:02:58,610 --> 00:02:54,709 that's really exciting 68 00:03:01,759 --> 00:02:58,620 this is the data they have published so 69 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:01,769 you can see it has two halves one is the 70 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:05,040 high resolution low masses half and the 71 00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:06,959 other one is the low resolution higher 72 00:03:13,069 --> 00:03:09,750 masses have and if you look at the 73 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:13,079 ninety to two-hundred you range you see 74 00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:14,130 they represent 75 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:18,870 monomeric compounds of carbons of 7015 76 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:23,760 carbons and in the higher masses range 77 00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:26,010 you have these big Peaks that are highly 78 00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:28,200 indicative of polymeric macromolecules 79 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:30,769 there's big chunks of insoluble organics 80 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,500 now the data couldn't offer us the exact 81 00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:37,200 empirical formula of these compounds but 82 00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:39,209 the authors did infer some of their 83 00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:42,630 chemical property and they say that it 84 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:47,660 is the highly complex mostly unsaturated 85 00:03:53,090 --> 00:03:50,970 with high ratio of carbon to other 86 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,100 hetero atoms like oxygen nitrogen and 87 00:03:59,470 --> 00:03:55,200 sulfur which means it's highly carbon 88 00:04:02,500 --> 00:03:59,480 dominated and it is mostly consisting of 89 00:04:05,630 --> 00:04:02,510 aromatic rings that are connected with 90 00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:05,640 aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons the 91 00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:09,030 office also indicated that it is highly 92 00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:11,340 similar to what we found in carbonaceous 93 00:04:16,099 --> 00:04:13,950 chondrite meteorites that have a higher 94 00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:16,109 percentage of carbon in them and also 95 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:19,019 seem a quite similar to carriage and the 96 00:04:23,490 --> 00:04:20,410 chain remains of 97 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:23,500 biological matter here on earth and what 98 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:25,330 we are interested in is the monomers 99 00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:27,010 that exist in a soup because that's how 100 00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:29,620 life can began not from this hydro from 101 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:33,400 this macro molecular polymers and so we 102 00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:36,010 propose that by analyzing what monomers 103 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:37,870 could escape or be extracted from these 104 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:41,050 large macromolecular structures we can 105 00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:43,840 then infer about the nature of chemistry 106 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:48,190 on Enceladus so this is the first 107 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:49,810 example this is medicine 108 00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:52,330 it felt astray about 40 years ago and 109 00:04:57,810 --> 00:04:54,220 our colleague professor Schmidt Kaplan 110 00:04:59,820 --> 00:04:57,820 has produced an analysis no targeted 111 00:05:01,530 --> 00:04:59,830 high resolution analysis of solve 112 00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:01,540 products that were extracted from 113 00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:03,550 Murchison through applying different 114 00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:07,030 solvents and he has produced more than 115 00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:08,980 30,000 empirical formulae of these 116 00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:10,740 products which is an immense diversity 117 00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:13,630 and a lot of them were amphiphilic they 118 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:17,230 have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic 119 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,690 tails and they tend to aggregate in for 120 00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:21,280 my sins and vesicles you can see in an 121 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:23,470 earlier analysis how these vesicles just 122 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:24,850 spontaneously formed from these 123 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:27,430 extractions and in the schmidt Koplin 124 00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:29,610 analysis you can see that the major 125 00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:32,260 sample of of compounds that were 126 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:34,300 extracted one that only have carbon 127 00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:36,970 hydrogen and oxygen atoms you can see 128 00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:39,040 that they tend to aggregated around two 129 00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:41,320 oxygen two oxygen atoms and twelve to 130 00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:43,870 thirty carbon atoms which are just 131 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:45,880 structurally in the grave of MV felicity 132 00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:48,880 and reminiscent of what the structure of 133 00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:53,020 simple fatty acids looks like we see the 134 00:05:59,100 --> 00:05:55,950 same trends in courage interpretation so 135 00:06:00,840 --> 00:05:59,110 labs that have degraded keratin in 136 00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:00,850 hydras pearl his experiments which is 137 00:06:07,890 --> 00:06:06,070 just putting them in hot water okay they 138 00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:07,900 have produced an immense diversity of 139 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:10,240 compounds and a lot of them are 140 00:06:17,190 --> 00:06:14,130 antigenic like alcohols and ketones and 141 00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:17,200 similarly even when they sample the 142 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:20,590 non-biological extraction products of 143 00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,290 degradation of Kuragin in actual 144 00:06:28,140 --> 00:06:25,600 hydrothermal vents they have produced a 145 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:28,150 lot of these cations and this is an 146 00:06:32,650 --> 00:06:31,930 example of the reaction pathway that 147 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:32,660 even the No 148 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:36,560 dispersible molecules such as alkenes 149 00:06:42,010 --> 00:06:39,170 how would a modify them and making them 150 00:06:43,810 --> 00:06:42,020 more dispersible and a lot more and 151 00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:43,820 fulfilling because they tend to bond to 152 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:46,190 a new channel carbon which they just 153 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:47,810 tend to make them a lot more and he 154 00:06:53,290 --> 00:06:50,570 falls in the water and so after this 155 00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:53,300 very quick overview here's what we think 156 00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:55,540 the inside of prebiotic soup looks like 157 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:00,560 it is a rich organic water body with all 158 00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:02,810 these different dispersible molecules 159 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:05,270 fills with the amplifiers that aggregate 160 00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:07,970 to form micelles let's float in the 161 00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:11,150 ocean and it even has two more 162 00:07:15,340 --> 00:07:13,670 solidified layers of organics one of no 163 00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:15,350 massive organics that float on the water 164 00:07:20,590 --> 00:07:17,990 and underneath the ice and one that is 165 00:07:22,420 --> 00:07:20,600 more that is solidified under the core 166 00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:22,430 weird undergoes differentiation into the 167 00:07:27,190 --> 00:07:24,350 water assisted by the thermal gradients 168 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:27,200 that the core image and all this is 169 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:29,410 reflected in the plumes at escape 170 00:07:35,170 --> 00:07:33,110 outside of Enceladus and so now that we 171 00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:35,180 know a bit more about the nature of the 172 00:07:39,970 --> 00:07:36,620 chemistry of Enceladus we can go back to 173 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:39,980 our original question and try to 174 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:43,090 determine which origin of life theory 175 00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:45,410 best describes how life could emerge 176 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:48,080 from this environment and I hope you can 177 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:51,280 agree with me that the lipid world is 178 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,080 more advantageous in that comparison 179 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:56,720 because we potentially have the first 180 00:07:58,570 --> 00:07:58,250 group of a few files floating in the 181 00:08:01,690 --> 00:07:58,580 water 182 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:01,700 whereas compounds that are relevant to 183 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:04,130 the RNA like nuclear bases and sugars 184 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:11,530 but it is only one point of comparison 185 00:08:15,810 --> 00:08:13,370 so the lipid world here has the 186 00:08:17,590 --> 00:08:15,820 advantage but we can also compare the 187 00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:17,600 models based on their chemical 188 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:19,340 properties and I want to present you 189 00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:21,110 with three more points of comparison 190 00:08:28,210 --> 00:08:23,830 that I hope will be persuasive 191 00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:28,220 so first the diversity in the 192 00:08:32,740 --> 00:08:29,780 environment so lipid in world is 193 00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:32,750 actually beneficial diversity of 194 00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:34,160 compounds because as long as their 195 00:08:38,830 --> 00:08:36,500 amphiphilic they can form or join 196 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:38,840 micelles and take part in the dynamics 197 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:42,410 that underlie lipid world model whereas 198 00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:45,090 in the RNA world this messy cam 199 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:47,460 she is highly impedin for the formation 200 00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:50,810 of nucleotides where which is a very 201 00:08:58,519 --> 00:08:56,760 complex reaction pathway micelles can 202 00:09:00,050 --> 00:08:58,529 also form in very dilute concentrations 203 00:09:02,090 --> 00:09:00,060 especially mixed mices of different 204 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:02,100 alpha file types where the 205 00:09:07,490 --> 00:09:04,710 polymerization of RNA it's equivalent of 206 00:09:09,410 --> 00:09:07,500 an assembly is a very complex and 207 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:09,420 challenging pathway especially when 208 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:12,000 considering the diversity that I've just 209 00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:12,450 talked about 210 00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:14,190 and lastly their environmental 211 00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:16,260 resilience so my cells are highly 212 00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:18,960 tolerant to extreme temperatures and bra 213 00:09:27,530 --> 00:09:23,339 and pH gradient where an RNA is 214 00:09:31,220 --> 00:09:27,540 inherently unstable and delicate so I 215 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:31,230 support the liquid world and I will just 216 00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:33,600 in the time I have remaining I would 217 00:09:37,420 --> 00:09:35,700 like to go over just the basic concept 218 00:09:42,769 --> 00:09:37,430 concept of lipid world which is 219 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:42,779 reputable ism micelles has information 220 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:44,490 it's called a compositional information 221 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:46,890 it is the relative concentrations of the 222 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:48,210 different molecular types within an 223 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:50,730 assembly and myosins gonna create more 224 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:53,730 monomers to join it and by that changing 225 00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:55,890 the composition information but in some 226 00:10:01,579 --> 00:09:57,690 special cases this composition 227 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,589 information can remain if the relative 228 00:10:04,610 --> 00:10:03,120 concentrations of the different 229 00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:04,620 molecular types has been preserved over 230 00:10:08,690 --> 00:10:07,230 growth periods the mices stays in a 231 00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:08,700 steady state of what we call homeostatic 232 00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:10,920 growth and if this remains over this 233 00:10:15,410 --> 00:10:13,230 fission of splits events this is the 234 00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:15,420 primitive form of what replication and 235 00:10:19,510 --> 00:10:16,920 reproduction is and it smears what 236 00:10:23,270 --> 00:10:19,520 happens in our very own cells this is 237 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:23,280 being possible by mutual catalytic 238 00:10:27,949 --> 00:10:25,530 network that exists inside these 239 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:27,959 assemblies and in our monte carlo 240 00:10:31,699 --> 00:10:30,240 simulations we've proved these states 241 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:31,709 exist and that they can undergo 242 00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:33,930 selection and evolution which I think 243 00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:36,150 it's pretty critical to every origin of 244 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:40,620 life theory and lastly maximal catalysis 245 00:10:46,810 --> 00:10:43,890 so my system lipids are hot catalytic we 246 00:10:49,930 --> 00:10:46,820 usually think as biologists as on 247 00:10:52,699 --> 00:10:49,940 proteins and RNA as being big but also 248 00:10:56,390 --> 00:10:52,709 lipids and mices are very catalytic 249 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:56,400 they have a wide array of reactions that 250 00:11:00,220 --> 00:10:58,010 they can catalyze and 251 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:00,230 then from basically from two parameters 252 00:11:03,790 --> 00:11:01,850 that they have first is the structural 253 00:11:06,850 --> 00:11:03,800 chemical properties which we usually 254 00:11:08,260 --> 00:11:06,860 call as the soda phase model which is 255 00:11:10,450 --> 00:11:08,270 just interaction of the hydrophobic 256 00:11:13,330 --> 00:11:10,460 interior with the aqueous medium the 257 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:13,340 hydrophilic exterior and some reactions 258 00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:15,890 can be catalyzed that way and also just 259 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:18,950 the highly diverse healthy that lipids 260 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:20,930 can have it can have simple catalytic a 261 00:11:28,810 --> 00:11:24,490 groups like carboxylic acids and also 262 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:28,820 they can have more traditional head 263 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:31,040 groups such as amino acids and 264 00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:33,770 nucleotides and also chelating metals 265 00:11:41,530 --> 00:11:38,030 and and minerals such as four states and 266 00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:41,540 like all catalytic so my solar catalyst 267 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:44,750 is a very well known term and while 268 00:11:49,930 --> 00:11:47,510 combining all the different aspects the 269 00:11:51,730 --> 00:11:49,940 catalysis and the reproduction I think 270 00:11:53,950 --> 00:11:51,740 we can imagine how there's different 271 00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:53,960 catalytic my cells have complexified 272 00:11:59,260 --> 00:11:57,260 over time and rapid used and assisted 273 00:12:01,840 --> 00:11:59,270 the emergence of other poly biopolymers 274 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:01,850 like RNA important proteins and from 275 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:04,610 there have evolved to become a more 276 00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:06,800 mature prata cell on the onset to luca 277 00:12:12,010 --> 00:12:10,040 and further life so thanks for listening 278 00:12:13,830 --> 00:12:12,020 and if you have questions I'll be happy 279 00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:13,840 to answer them 280 00:12:20,670 --> 00:12:17,910 [Applause] 281 00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:20,680 very nice talk and a question right up 282 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:26,670 hi so it seems to me like the liquid 283 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:28,480 world is really interesting in multiple 284 00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:31,930 ways one is as a potential form of 285 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:34,870 living evolvable chemistry of some kind 286 00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:39,130 and the other as a stage in the origin 287 00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:40,630 and evolution of cellular life as we 288 00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:42,520 know it and it seems to me I've always 289 00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:44,230 had this question about the lipid world 290 00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:48,430 how do you get a hydrophilic interior do 291 00:12:52,410 --> 00:12:50,470 you mean how we make the jump from Isis 292 00:12:55,380 --> 00:12:52,420 to vesicles basically yes 293 00:12:57,330 --> 00:12:55,390 so vesicles form as you've seen it 294 00:13:00,510 --> 00:12:57,340 spontaneously also from the medicine 295 00:13:04,830 --> 00:13:00,520 extractions but they also are unstable 296 00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:04,840 except for specific lipids that can 297 00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:08,200 sustain it like in ourselves with the 298 00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:11,680 phosphate head roots basically so it's 299 00:13:15,710 --> 00:13:13,270 it's basically throughout the evolution 300 00:13:18,980 --> 00:13:15,720 of chemical evolution of micelles the 301 00:13:21,450 --> 00:13:18,990 link exchange they evolved to become to 302 00:13:24,510 --> 00:13:21,460 to have different metabolic reactions 303 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,520 that they can sustain so over evolution 304 00:13:29,130 --> 00:13:26,320 periods that could have been a stage 305 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:29,140 where we are creative or modified it's 306 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:30,370 different different lipids that could 307 00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:31,210 make the jump 308 00:13:35,070 --> 00:13:33,220 there are many papers that show how you 309 00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:35,080 can jump from isel's to vesicles with 310 00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:37,360 specific reactions or the catalytic sets 311 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:39,670 and the like I don't know if they are 312 00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:41,770 very convincing but it surely is a 313 00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:44,230 phenomenon that is real and is 314 00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:47,140 potentially has occurred so just to 315 00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:51,190 clarify yeah change the molecular 316 00:13:58,680 --> 00:13:53,260 structure of the lipids and you change 317 00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:58,690 the structure overall um thank you for 318 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:00,880 your talk um I especially appreciate 319 00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:02,890 that the visual nature of it is great I 320 00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:05,350 had a question hopefully you can 321 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:06,910 elaborate a little bit more on the doing 322 00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:08,770 solution problem 323 00:14:13,410 --> 00:14:11,380 I guess that ever-recurring common 324 00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:13,420 problems provide a chemistry is of 325 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:15,670 course what to do in a dilute solution 326 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:18,560 yeah especially one of my 327 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:20,690 temperatures 50 that 100 degree 328 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:22,930 centigrade as you guys were proposing 329 00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:26,510 how do you in the lipid world hypothesis 330 00:14:38,590 --> 00:14:36,160 so as I said lipids tend to aggregate 331 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:38,600 just on their alpha felicity in nature 332 00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:41,330 it happens in very dilute concentrations 333 00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:43,100 I don't have the numbers with me here 334 00:14:48,579 --> 00:14:44,870 but you can find it in my in my Tarot 335 00:14:49,660 --> 00:14:48,589 you know anywhere else specifically mix 336 00:14:52,030 --> 00:14:49,670 my cells so if you have different types 337 00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:52,040 of my alpha empty files 338 00:14:55,990 --> 00:14:54,320 laughs don't usually do that but it 339 00:14:58,450 --> 00:14:56,000 really reduces the same see the 340 00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:58,460 concentration that is necessary to form 341 00:15:02,769 --> 00:15:00,320 these different micelles and once you 342 00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:02,779 form these different muscles then it's a 343 00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:05,180 proximity factor so everything the head 344 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:06,500 groups really touched together and 345 00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:07,970 interact with each other even in very 346 00:15:11,829 --> 00:15:09,920 dilute concentrations of the molecules 347 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:11,839 overall for as long as they're part of 348 00:15:16,660 --> 00:15:13,850 the head drops of liquids on the my 349 00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:16,670 soles it really helps you to catalyze a 350 00:15:23,530 --> 00:15:18,920 lot of the reactions that doesn't really 351 00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:23,540 occur in a non micellar solution so I 352 00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:25,630 think that's one of the really cool 353 00:15:35,079 --> 00:15:30,560 property is about my so my hardest of a 354 00:15:37,090 --> 00:15:35,089 Sabah so I said that they are they can 355 00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:37,100 be preserved over extreme temperatures 356 00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:39,950 and pH gradients based mostly upon their 357 00:15:45,010 --> 00:15:42,830 hydrophobic core which holds everything 358 00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:45,020 together so they are the most stable for 359 00:15:52,930 --> 00:15:48,830 example the most trouble then vesicles 360 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:52,940 that form probiotic Li and that is why I 361 00:15:58,180 --> 00:15:55,490 think you know and mostly over RNA and 362 00:16:01,240 --> 00:15:58,190 so I think it is a our best candidate 363 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:01,250 for the original 5 in my opinion you 364 00:16:08,590 --> 00:16:02,690 know one last question is a great time 365 00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:08,600 for how diverse and how efficient are 366 00:16:13,650 --> 00:16:11,209 the reaction that can be catalyzed by 367 00:16:18,579 --> 00:16:13,660 micelles and how does that compare to 368 00:16:21,550 --> 00:16:18,589 reactions catalyzed by RNA okay so to 369 00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:21,560 the best of my knowledge we have found 370 00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:23,990 our innate are capable of catalytic 371 00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:31,890 catalytic capacity by itself so 372 00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:33,310 we find different types of our anĂ­bal 373 00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:34,870 problem is that each one has its own 374 00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:37,060 like can only capacity origin of its own 375 00:16:42,180 --> 00:16:40,300 but one by poem it can cannot catalyze a 376 00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:42,190 lot of reactions where as my soul's 377 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:43,720 because of the different head people 378 00:16:48,829 --> 00:16:45,610 they can have because of the structures 379 00:16:53,310 --> 00:16:48,839 even in a very diverse solution in a 380 00:16:55,890 --> 00:16:53,320 prebiotic clutter it can come as a wide 381 00:16:58,110 --> 00:16:55,900 array of different reactions and it's a 382 00:16:59,880 --> 00:16:58,120 really known well-known term micellar 383 00:17:03,079 --> 00:16:59,890 catalysis in organic chemistry can find 384 00:17:05,730 --> 00:17:03,089 a multitude of papers that use this 385 00:17:07,290 --> 00:17:05,740 method to catalyze all these different 386 00:17:12,090 --> 00:17:07,300 reactions so it's a highly diverse 387 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:12,100 choleric templates yeah that's a even
