Recently, a team has started a research on the chemical origins of life using a new method for studying the characteristic patterns of DNA. As per the study, the researchers have found DNA base pairs to form by dry heating devoid of water or other solvents. Ernest Mestrovic from the pharmaceutical company Xellia along with the research team led by Ivan Halasz from the Rudjer Boskovic Institute presents details about DESY’s X-ray source PETRA III in the journal Chemical Communications.Moreover, the researchers are still awestruck over how the chemical selection of life occurred and how the first-ever biomolecules were formed. According to researcher Tomislav Stolar of the Rudjer Boskovic Institute, the machinery of the living cells were found to help them produce biomolecules using molecular and supramolecular building blocks without any catalysis.
The genetic code thatis the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is being investigated for their specific pairing combinations. However, since the discovery of the base pairs by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 it is still difficult for the researchers to isolate base pairs in the prebiotically plausible conditions.Through continuous research the researchers found the methylated nucleobases to help form hydrogen bonds that ultimately structure into a DNA. The methylated nucleobases are present in almost every living organism as they are needed for performing majority of the biological functions.
In the lab, the scientists found the heating to help form stronger nucleobase pairs compared to grinding. They measured the pairs using DESY’s X-ray source PETRA III.In the DNA, the recognition of molecular patterns is being experimented. Furthermore, the DESY helps understand the structural and functional changes that take place in the presence of or interaction with specific elementary particles, vital biomolecules, and nanomaterials. There are possibilities that new windows could be opened in the Universe using the intense X-ray radiation.
