An Engineering Marvel: Uncovering the Mechanism of Respiratory Complex I
Complex I is involved in the electron transport chain, which is part of the biochemical process by which we create ATP, the energy molecule of life.
Same-Handed Molecules Are an “Overarching Design Principle” in Life, Say Researchers
Without foresight to solve heterochiral incidents, a primordial cell would quickly perish even if, against all odds, it began homochiral.
Zombie Science: Miller-Urey Experiment Is Back from the Dead, Barely
Scientifically speaking, the Miller experiment was a non-starter. Then when the atmosphere they used was called into question, the icon was doubly dead.
DNA Packing: One of the Supreme Wonders of Nature
The cell packs two meters of DNA into a 10-micron nucleus. How? The machinery is as intelligently designed as the genome itself.
Cell Cannibalism Shows Intelligent Design
“Eat me!” cries a cell to other cells. But biochemists know it is for the greater good.
