NASA scientists studying the origin of life have reproduced uracil, a key component of our hereditary material, in the laboratory. They discovered that an ice sample containing pyrimidine exposed to ultraviolet radiation under space-like conditions produces this essential ingredient of life.
Pyrimidine is a ring-shaped molecule made up of carbon and nitrogen and is the basic structure for uracil, part of a genetic code found in ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA is central to protein synthesis, but has many other roles.
"We have demonstrated for the first time that we can make uracil, a component of RNA, non-biologically in a laboratory under conditions found in space," said Michel Nuevo, research scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. "We are showing that these laboratory processes, which simulate occurrences in outer space, can make a fundamental building block used by living organisms on Earth."
NASA Ames scientists have been simulating the environments found in interstellar space and the outer solar system for years. During this time, they have studied a class of carbon-rich compounds, called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have been identified in meteorites, and are the most common carbon-rich compound observed in the universe. PAHs typically are six-carbon ringed structures that resemble fused hexagons, or a piece of chicken wire.
Pyrimidine also is found in meteorites, although scientists still do not know its origin. It may be similar to the carbon-rich PAHs, in that it may be produced in the final outbursts of dying, giant red stars, or formed in dense clouds of interstellar gas and dust.
“Molecules like pyrimidine have nitrogen atoms in their ring structures, which makes them somewhat whimpy. As a less stable molecule, it is more susceptible to destruction by radiation, compared to its counterparts that don’t have nitrogen,” said Scott Sandford, a space science researcher at Ames. “We wanted to test whether pyrimidine can survive in space, and whether it can undergo reactions that turn it into more complicated organic species, such as the nucleobase uracil.”
In theory, the researchers thought that if molecules of pyrimidine could survive long enough to migrate into interstellar dust clouds, they might be able to shield themselves from radiation destruction. Once in the clouds, most molecules freeze onto dust grains (much like moisture in your breath condenses on a cold window during winter).
These clouds are dense enough to screen out much of the surrounding outside radiation of space, thereby providing some protection to the molecules inside the clouds.
Scientists tested their hypotheses in the Ames Astrochemistry Laboratory. During their experiment, they exposed the ice sample containing pyrimidine to ultraviolet radiation under space-like conditions, including a very high vacuum, extremely low temperatures (approximately - 340 degrees Fahrenheit), and harsh radiation.
They found that when pyrimidine is frozen in water ice, it is much less vulnerable to destruction by radiation. Instead of being destroyed, many of the molecules took on new forms, such as the RNA component uracil, which is found in the genetic make-up of all living organisms on Earth.
“We are trying to address the mechanisms in space that are forming these molecules. Considering what we produced in the laboratory, the chemistry of ice exposed to ultraviolet radiation may be an important linking step between what goes on in space and what fell to Earth early in its development,” said Stefanie Milam, a researcher at NASA Ames and a co-author of the research paper.
“Nobody really understands how life got started on Earth. Our experiments demonstrate that once the Earth formed, many of the building blocks of life were likely present from the beginning. Since we are simulating universal astrophysical conditions, the same is likely wherever planets are formed,” explained Sandford.

If it ain't the Bible, it ain't true or even possible.
I just made a building block of life.....in my pants.
OOPS....wrong thread
Those who believe this nonsense will spend time in purgatory.
My step-father made a joke the other day that made me laugh.
he basically said, "If there is a God, I hope to he enforces all the rules religion has put upon itself."
I laughed picturing most Catholics hanging out in purgatory and other Christians being condemned to their because they sinned in life, knowing they shouldnt have according to the rules they set upon themselves.
Hmmm...
Such joking around a significant discover.
I think the article is great.
I know. I can't believe such shenanigans would occur in a thread about such a fantastic discovery.
Shame on all of you.
Wild Cobra must of wet his boxers thinking this may finally be the evidence he needs to continue preaching his bull Darwin evolution propaganda.
NASA will say they think there is chocolate milk on Uranus if it means they keep their jobs.
Funny how NASA is so bent on spending billions and billions on finding out where or how we came from but hasn't thought about the life we already know about on earth.
Does it really matter if we find a bunch of unemployed green men on mars, how about doing something worth while and find a cure for Cancer.
No chocolate milk in space yet, but they did find alcohol in space. They have estimated the size of this gas cloud at approximately 1,000 times the diameter of our own solar system; there's enough alcohol out there, they say, to make 400 trillion trillion pints of beer.
Who knows, maybe its God's own personal keg or something.... Got to give hope to the thumpers.
I happen to think finding out how life was created and arrived here on earth as a worth while endevor. If we can discern how the building blocks of life came to be, that may lead to not only a cure for cancer but a cure for all diseases, maybe even a "cure" for aging and death.
Thank godness that all other jobs are immune to the above phenomenon, like priests!
Hopefully your job actually helps mankind everyday unlike NASA.
Who gives a about dust busters and Velcro where is the cure for ....

You do realize your boy Alex Jones is able to broadcast his ignorance live worldwide because of the space program, right? Instead of slashing NASA's budget, we should end the tax exemptions for churches to pay for all the stuff you seem to think NASA is stealing from.Hopefully your job actually helps mankind everyday unlike NASA.

the earth is only 5000 years old
Preposterous. The Earth is obviously older than Joan Collins, and she's what.....five million years old?
Wrong!

Sorry to break it to you sugar s but it was the "USSR" who placed the first satellite in space,and if not for Russian spies your taint sniffing 's at NASA would never had got off the ground to perform their fake moon landing.
Also radio is over 100 years old stop giving credit to NASA for we already had, they didn't invent the telephone and they did not create Sushi.
Put down your limited edition ,over priced space Challenger coffee mug your wife bought off QVC and face the facts,
Also....when your kid is snuggling up to his life size Niel Armstrong pillow at night dreaming of becoming an astronaut, don't forget to someday tell him the truth that the harsh reality is he will never become an Astronaut or work for NASA and will have to finish four years of San Antonio collage just to end up working at wall mart like his father.
How you can bring in religion on a simple matter of wasting good tax payers money shows your desperate or else can't stand God which doesn't bother me the least, but I will say this when was the last time a church you knew spent 60, million dollars on a dune buggy?Instead of slashing NASA's budget, we should end the tax exemptions for churches to pay for all the stuff you seem to think NASA is stealing from.
My only response to this is, "God did it". Check and mate, sir. Check and mate.
Oh yeah, the Soviets were dying to share their technology with us too. So it was the Soviet space program that launched all our communication satellites into orbit? I guess it makes as much sense as your 9-11 and moon landing conspiracy theories.
I'm sure the Genesis Communications Network would love to hear from you how they don't distribute his show via satellite.Also radio is over 100 years old stop giving credit to NASA for we already had, they didn't invent the telephone and they did not create Sushi.
I thought you were for good use of our tax dollars now. Why do churches deserve welfare from American taxpayers? Why does the preacher get a subsidy from the American taxpayer? Why doesn't his ass go and cure cancer and do something meaningful like you said instead of telling a bunch of fairy tails? NASA spending $60 million to do research on the moon is a of a lot better for the country than the Mormon church raising money tax free so they can spend it attacking Americans' civil rights like they did in California's prop 8 vote last year.How you can bring in religion on a simple matter of wasting good tax payers money shows your desperate or else can't stand God which doesn't bother me the least, but I will say this when was the last time a church you knew spent 60, million dollars on a dune buggy?

I agree, that money is better funneled into churches.
Sincerely,
The Church of Scientology
Are you really that dumb?
Just because I don't believe in a 6,000 year earth theory, I believe only in evolution?
Sorry head. I am an intelligent design advocate for earth, but was God created or did he evolve?
I fail to see how this article spawned debate about God/evolution.
We've all seen enough of what we need to see here on this planet. It's time to focus 100% on branching out.
Quite frankly, I think it's time to activate the Star Gate.
I never said the soviets launched anything of the USA, if you read my post I said they were years ahead of us in every space program their astronauts were logging in 1,000 hours to the Americans 200 hours more or less.
My point was radio and all the you see today was already on here or on it's way since your Sean Hannity worshiping ass pisses red white blue you want to convince yourself America and NASA is responsible for the modern world well go right ahead just don't pepper this forum with lies.
State the facts, radio has been around 100s of years and the first satellite was orbiting the earth long ago while Neil Armstrong was still in high school playing dodge ball with some other white boy wearing extra tight short shots.
Your still hung up on this satellite radio show. I hope you can bring more to the table to defend NASA than dust busters and radio shows brah!I'm sure the Genesis Communications Network would love to hear from you how they don't distribute his show via satellite.
I'm not sure actully I didn't make the rules on who pays taxes and who doesn't maybe you can ask your pals from AIG or your friend Bill O'ReillyI thought you were for good use of our tax dollars now. Why do churches deserve welfare from American taxpayers? Why does the preacher get a subsidy from the American taxpayer?
who claims 50% of American don't pay tax's either.

I am more interested in how NASA uses a billion dollars to tell us they found a roach egg on Pluto.
I never said i was against Science and technology. I love space exploration I just want us to be fair.
Cure brain cancer, then you get to driver your billion dollar scooters on Mars.
end world hunger, then you get to build your country club on the moon, what is so wrong with that, why are you that arrogant to not see the big picture?
Those are only fairy tails if you don't believe, kinda like people that don't believe man evolved from a snail think Darwin tells many fairy tails .Why doesn't his ass go and cure cancer and do something meaningful like you said instead of telling a bunch of fairy tails?
NASA spending $60 million to do research on the moon is a of a lot better for the country than the Mormon church raising money tax free so they can spend it attacking Americans' civil rights like they did in California's prop 8 vote last year.
First off 60 Million was not the price of NASA going to the Moon.it was 11 Billion. the 60 million was just for "each" land rover aka dune buggy.
And after reading you Mormon and civil rights arguments I have to say you may be in the wrong forum I am here to talk about NASA not MLK or David Koresh
maybe you need to watch a do entary get an idea how NASA s the public.
watch the first 30 seconds at least...
Nice way to start off an adult debate.
this is why no one debates with you anymore in the politics forum.
You disagree with my findings so your in bed with the Darwin lovers its just the way it goes brah. I didn't make the rules. and I really don't think the earth is 6,000 years old I said it's "not" "4" " Billion" years old like you and your banana eating pals claim, there is a difference.Just because I don't believe in a 6,000 year earth theory, I believe only in evolution?
nice way to end an adult debate.Sorry head.
You have shown your intelligence and I don't like the design.I am an intelligent design advocate for earth,
ask Angel luv I am here to talk NASA.but was God created or did he evolve?
