FIVE POINTS ABOUT OPARINS THEORY OF LIFE:
- Russian biochemist Aleksandr Oparin independently set forth similar ideas concerning the conditions required for the origin of life on Earth.
- Oparin believed that life developed from coacervates, microscopic spontaneously formed spherical aggregates of lipid molecules that are held together by electrostatic forces and that may have been precursors of cells.
- He believed that organic molecules could be formed from abiogenic materials in the presence of an external energy source and that the primitive atmosphere was reducing (having very low amounts of free oxygen) and contained ammonia and water vapour, among other gases.
- He suspected that the first life-forms appeared in the warm, primitive ocean and were heterotrophic rather than autotrophic.
- Oparin’s work with coacervates confirmed that enzymes fundamental for the biochemical reactions of metabolism functioned more efficiently when contained within membrane-bound spheres than when free in aqueous solutions.
