6. When enough of these were formed in the prebiotic soup, they
aggregated to form “protocells”.
7. Finally, these protocells yielded an organism called the Last
Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)
8. “LUCA”, the root of the evolutionary tree of life then evolved to
produce all plants animals and organisms.
Stages 1-3 are plausible and possible to demonstrate in laboratory
experiments. After this stage we get into a road block. To turn amino
acids into even the simplest protein seems to defy all human efforts.
Here is why:
In order to make a protein, you have to start with different amino
acids, then assemble them in a string in a particular order to form a
polypeptide chain. Then the polypeptide chain has to fold in a
particular way (specific for the protein) to form a 3 dimensional
“biomolecule”. (see figure below)
