Creating the Molecules of Life

By Professor Dr Richard N Boyd & Professor Dr Michael A Famiano
Creating the Molecules of Life by Professor Dr Richard N Boyd & Professor Dr Michael A Famiano digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Creating the Molecules of Life discusses origins, including the Big Bang and the origin of the elements. With a complete presentation and explanation, this book provides evidence that the molecules of life are produced in outer space and how the SNAAP model purports to explain that origin. Extremophiles, which explain that evolution is robust enough to create life forms in a wide variety of conditions, are also presented. This book is suitable for those at the upper undergraduate level, with mathematics associated with coupling the nuclear spins to the molecular chirality. An accompanying appendix is provided to support mathematics.
