Collisions

... with one another producing a random zig-zag movement Larger particles move slower, due to their larger mass and may be influenced by numerous collisions with many nearby smaller particles. Smaller particles move faster. The overall energy of movement is proportional to the square root of the ...

... can decrease the ratio of (charged aa-tRNA)/(empty tRNA) you should slow elongation due to the increased frequency of unproductive codon-anticodon collisions. I am assuming that the uncharged tRNAs would competitively inhibit loading of charged tRNAs. This could be as simple as starving the cells ...

The chemical reactions are all driven by random moves and random collisions, just proteins are catalysts, they speed up the reaction, helping all molecules to react in the correct orientation and stuff like that. If you had e.g. ethene and hydrogen, nothing ...

... of Earth were right and all that was needed was a kickstart. My bet is that organic molecules and amino acids arrived on Earth via the the early collisions that collectively helped form the Earth. Once the environmental conditions on the planet became more suitable, these materials managed to ...
