Abstract:

THE FORMATION OF CELL membrane is an important event in the process of life synthesis. The critical event which may best be called as origin of life was the enclosure of several different self-producing polymers within a semi-permeable membrane. Jeewanu, the protocell having amino acids, peptides, sugars, enzyme-like materials, and nucleic acid bases have been prepared by the action of light on aqueous mixture containing ammonium molybdate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, biological minerals and formaldehyde
