00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:03,270
hello in the next minute let me tell you

2
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:05,920
how rna could have played a pivotal role

3
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:07,040
in the emergence of

4
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:09,920
organized cellular life from inanimate

5
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:11,200
matter

6
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:13,280
i am creating experimental models for

7
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:15,440
some of the major chemical transitions

8
00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:17,359
rna had to go through from the

9
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:19,359
simplicity of its building blocks

10
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:22,160
to its complex catalytic functions i

11
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:24,000
will discuss how we identified

12
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:27,599
rna enzymes or ribozymes that catalyze

13
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,080
the assembly of probiotically plausible

14
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,399
activated rna substrates

15
00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,640
i will also show you how such activated

16
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:36,559
substrates could have been produced on

17
00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:37,840
early earth and how

18
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:40,559
ribozymes that use these substrates

19
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:42,079
could have functioned under these

20
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:43,520
probiotic activation

21
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:46,079
conditions finally i will show you how

22
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,200
we constituted

23
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,079
rna catalyzed rna assembly within

24
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:52,160
prebiotically relevant fatty acid

25
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:53,039
protocells

26
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:54,879
which will hopefully pave the way for

27
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,640
the spontaneous emergence

28
00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:59,039
of darwinian evolution in non-living
