According to Dr. Sidney W. Fox

  • The origin of the cell is a Microsphere or protocell.
  • Microspheres are made from the addition of water or salt solution to the appropriate proteinoids.
  • One gram of protein polymer yields up to one billion microspheres with about ten billion molecules of proteinoid in each sphere.
  • Fox says that the assembly of microspheres takes about twenty minutes and is more immediate and produces better microspheres if the water (or salt solution) is heated prior to mixing.
  • Microspheres have multiple properties that are similar to those of cells. The microspheres produced were mostly uniformly spherical and Fox believed that the shape and uniformity mimics that of coccoid bacteria.
  • He also believed that the uniformity meant that there was a sophisticated system that kept the microspheres at equilibrium.
  • The microspheres were able to asexually divide via binary fission, could form junctions with other microspheres, and developed a double membrane corresponding to that of a cell.
