reverse Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 The Murchison meteorite fell in 1969 over Murchison, Australia. Classified as a carbonaceous chondrite, type II (CM2), this meteorite is suspected to be of cometary origin due to its high water content of 12% An abundance of amino acids found within this meteorite has led to intense study as to its origins. More than 92 different amino acids have been identified within the Murchison meteorite to date. Nineteen of these are found on Earth. The remaining amino acids have no apparent terrestrial source http://www.resa.net/nasa/origins_life.htm#murchison
reverse Posted May 24, 2005 Author Posted May 24, 2005 Yep… ok then, When I become Emperor, none of you will be on the genetic development team. No, no …it’s no use complaining about it now, you had your chance.
Bluenoise Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 What kind of life can we build with these? None. We can not build life... ...yet Maybe that's why your not getting an answer. You can't really expect anyone to respond on building life with a specific requirement like an expanded set of amino acids when we can't build life at all. However, there is one definate answer. If we could build life, and we did with those other amino acids we would build a version of life with a larger set of amino acids. Anything beyond that is speculation.
Kylonicus Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Probably the reason we don't have those amino acids, is because they aren't as essential to life as the ones we have on Earth.
