Catalyst of life
It is possible to be one of the promoters of the birth of the living farelita. Researchers at Harvard University have found that it is able to catalyze some basic processes of living spharelita.
Spharelite is a mineral of sulfur and zinc that is believed to be abundant in the sea during the time of life, so it may be related to the origin of life. In order to find out if this was the case, the following experiment was carried out with the spharelita: they introduced it into sterile water and put it in the sunlight. Three very interesting organic compounds appeared in the water, three of the five participating in the Krebs cycle.
The cycle of Krebs is the biochemical path used by all living beings to obtain energy. Therefore, the investigation of the compounds necessary to complete the cycle of Krebs helps to solve the mystery of the genesis of life, and it is possible that the spharelite is one of the keys.
