Episode 7/13: Peptides // A Course on Abiogenesis by Dr. James Tour
In this episode, Dr. James Tour teaches the 2nd class of compounds needed for life: peptides. He identifies gross speculatory claims by others, referring to published literature that confirms the implausibility of the sudden emergence of peptides from amino acids. Dr. Tour also walks the viewer through synthesis, showing that without careful activation, side chain protection, and water-free conditions, amino acids do not polymerize into peptides. He then dispels the view that human-made synthesizers, which were not present on prebiotic earth, somehow render polypeptide synthesis as trivial, let alone the fact that amino acids themselves have never been prepared in homochiral fashion using a prebiotically relevant route. Finally, with no solution to the amino acid sequence that comprises functional proteins, Dr. Tour then shows how some ignore the sequence specificity question necessary for the informational code, and how this dilemma is being pushed to the extraterrestrial in a plea to the heavens.
