Alternative Biochemistry
Hypothetical types of biochemistry are forms of biochemistry agreed to be scientifically viable but not proven to exist at this time. The kinds of life, living organisms currently known on Earth all use carbon compounds for basic structural and metabolism, metabolic functions, water as a solvent, and DNA or RNA to define and control their form. If life exists on other planets or natural satellite, moons it may be chemically similar, though it is also possible that there are organisms with quite different chemistries for instance, involving other classes of carbon compounds, compounds of another element, or another solvent in place of water. The possibility of life-forms being based on "alternative" biochemistries is the topic of an ongoing scientific discussion, informed by what is known about extraterrestrial environments and about the chemical behaviour of various elements and compounds. It is of interest in synthetic biology and is also a science fiction theme, common subject i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
