Did Protocells Serve As Software 'Code' In Early Evolutionary Biology?
Software developer nickwinlund77 writes: A new study following Nick Lane, et al.'s protocell study mentioned on Slashdot offers an explanation for how ''protocells'' could have emerged on early Earth, eventually leading to the cells we know today. The work suggests that molecules called cyclophospholipids may have been the ingredient necessary for protocells to form important internal structures called vesicles, which likely kicked off the evolutionary process. Are protocells basically a form of preliminary software-like 'code' in evolutionary biology?Read more of this story at Slashdot.
