No explanation for the 21% oxygen/ 78% nitrogen atmosphere we enjoy now? Have you ever heard of photosynthesis, Chemscience? And I'd sory of hope that someone choosing "chemscience" as a screen name would know a little about how amide bonds form. Hint: it's not with both hydrogens off the amine nitrogen.
And, incidentally, there's some recent work that shows that carbonyl sulfide, a common volcanic gas, catalyzes amide bond formation in dilute water solutions.

Re: My, My, CORAGYPS, AREN'T WE SNIDE!
In this dehydrating syntheses a single H separates from the amine group in one amino acid, while the other is in the hydroxyl [OH] from the carboxyl group in the joining amino acid.
or
The assembly of AAs into proteins takes place in our cells by a linkage which involves the loss of 2 Hydrogen atoms from the amino [NH3] site and the loss of an atom of oxygen form the carboxyl [CO2] site of the adjacent amino acid, forming a molecule of H2O.
You're the one, chemscience, that's said both. Which scenario are you claiming now?
And do bacteria and whales dissolve in seawater? They're made largely of polypeptides. How does that work?

Re: WHALES & AMINO ACIDS.
Chemscience:
And a lipid vesicle with peptides inside is a little bag like a bacterium is, protecting the contents from hydrolysis. Yhese sort of structures have been made in the lab.
Where's your data showing that amino acids are more soluble in salt water than fresh? My own 37 years in the chemistry biz makes me a little sceptical - you wouldn't be Making Things Up, would you?

Re: Nice analogy
Hello, Aftab! Welcome aboard!
You have a very developed brain. Which of course means someone designed it.
Where did that "of course" come from? That seems rather a baseless assertion.

Re: Tern Migration
How about a nice hot bowl of fetal soup?
What the hell is your problem with at least making a tiny effort to stay on topic? And where did this story of a highly questionable soup recipe come from anyway?
