The origin of life is one of the greatest mysteries. Despite many prior attempts at scientifically determining the origin of life, there is no available solution that clearly determines the beginnings of the DNA molecule, the Genetic Code of Life, and the Biological Cell. Here, principal research findings are presented that indicate for the first time the origin of DNA, the Genetic Code, the Biological Cell, and the initiation mechanism for Life Forms. The basis for this work is the discovery of a molecular primer evident in the structural symmetry between DNA nucleotides, steroid molecules, and steroid hormones. Following this discovery, the research introduces a new concept of synthesizing both structural and functional characteristics of DNA at the same time within a single unified complex of interleaved steroid molecules which form reaction vessels that serve as co-enzymatic building blocks. The establishment of the DNA nucleotide code is among the very first synthesis steps, thereby inducing a digital communications channel of encoding, transmission, decoding, translation, including error correction and replication. Moreover, as a consequence of the intermolecular synthesis of both structure and function within a unified complex, there is a culminating process step that sets forth in motion both DNA and the steroid structures that subsequently control translation and replication, thereby resulting in the instantaneous release of life function.
This work follows the publication of the book by Dr. Schaper, “Design of DNA, Genetic Codes, and Life Function”, extending the results to include the Biological Cell, and the initiation processes for Life Forms. It is shown that in addition to the instantaneous release of life function, there was also the instantaneous creation of the first cellular life form, as the process was initiated in a biological cellular construct. Dr. Schaper indicates the mechanism of forming the First Cells, and its direct relationship with DNA and the steroid molecules, which enable function. The extension of these processes to induce differentiated multicellular structures is also indicated.
