About 4 billion years ago, Earth was developing conditions suitable for life. But scientists often wonder whether the composition, structure, properties, and dynamics of materials found on early Earth are similar to the composition, structure, properties, etc., of life in the modern era. Scientists know that fat accumulation is round in shape. It is called a protocell and is the precursor of cells during the formation of life. But how did simple protocells first arise and diversify to give rise to life on Earth?
Scientists say that phosphate is found in almost all chemical reactions in the body. It is believed that protocells are made of fatty acids, and recently a team of scientists from the Scripps Institute in the United States of America discovered one method that may indicate the possibility of how protocells were first formed and how this type of fat evolved in composition, structure, properties, etc. to be Able to work in many ways. The team explains that it is a chemical process called phosphorylation. (Phosphorylation) where a phosphate group is added to the molecule and may occur sooner than previously expected. It will lead to primary cells with more complex structures in terms of the ability to sustain chemical reactions and share functions
The team reveals that phosphate can be incorporated into cell-like structures much more quickly than previously thought. This could be the basis for creating life. This discovery helps to better understand the composition, structure, properties and dynamics of early Earth's materials.
