Energies

The structure of a molecule determines what energies of electromagnatic radiation it will absorb. Lower-energy photons like microwaves correspond to changes like transitions in rotational energies about bonds, while higher-energy photons can trigger ...

... you have proto-enzymes capable of manipulating RNA and at later stages DNA and amino acids. When you think of chemical reaction conditions and energies, take temperature into account. At high temperatures things can go even w/o catalyst present, and pre-life Earth was quite harsh by todays ...

High energy compounds, sometimes referred to as “activated carriers” (e.g. phosphoarginine) have large negative free energies of hydrolysis, indicating that their reactions with water are spontaneous and proceed almost to completion. Explain why millimolar concentrations of activated ...
