He continues his studies at Harvard, one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Turkish physicist Furkan OzturkHe has done work that we will all be proud of. The 26-year-old has managed to solve a problem that scientists have not been able to understand for 175 years. Nobel laureate scientist Jack Szostak describes the Turkish physicist’s success as “groundbreaking‘ noticed.
The famous chemist Louis Pasteur wrote in 1848.homochiralityHe introduced the term “. must be mirror image went to defend. However, scientists have been unable to understand the origin of this concept in their research so far. Here is Furkan Öztürk, who brought this discussion to an end. The work of Öztürk and his team, Scientific progress was published in the magazine.
An important step has been taken to solve the 4 billion year old mystery.
According to experts, life on our planet began 4 billion years ago, but how it came about has not been resolved to date. Because there is still a lot unknown about the subject. Even experts 125 questions about natural sciences They say it must be answered. Furkan Öztürk’s discovery is believed to be the answer to one of these questions. Turkish scientist, global scientific community excited.
Furkan Öztürk made remarkable statements in an interview with Anadolu Agency. As for his work,My research is important on the origin of life, but in the dark on a problem. The name of this problem is homochirality, the right- or left-handedness of the molecules that make up life, a characteristic of life as we know it.Öztürk, who used the phrase “gay morality”. origin also announced.
scientist Debated for 175 years. Here is his answer to the world on the matter: What we were looking for was a physical interaction that could break the chiral symmetry, the mirror symmetry. Our studies have shown that magnetic minerals, which are abundant in nature, can in some sense cause rocks with natural magnetic properties to break this symmetry. Our experiments show that magnetic surfaces interact very strongly with chiral molecules and that magnetism may have led to homochirality. The ‘origin of life’ problem is like a puzzle and our results are a serious step towards solving an important part of this great puzzle. We made a breach in the wall, I believe there will be more.
With this discovery, we shed light on a very important mystery about the beginning of life that we didn’t know. How life originated one of the greatest mysteries. Think of this problem as a jigsaw puzzle. We don’t know exactly where the pieces of this puzzle will fit. Because we don’t have much direct evidence for 4 billion years ago. In fact, with the work we have done, we have accomplished a great deal of the beginning of life. We don’t yet know what other information will emerge around it. But I am sure that this discovery will also allow us to answer other questions and provide interesting clues about the origin of life. Perhaps it provides information about possible life forms on other planets. So if we fully understand how life on Earth originated, then we will have more information about the conditions under which life could arise. This informs us Searching for life beyond Earth can direct. So understanding life on Earth can also help us discover another life form beyond Earth. It’s hard to say for sure, but it’s possible.
Furkan Öztürk wants to create a “protocell”, the basis of life!
The scientist who made Turkey’s chest swell said his future plans proto cell Said to create. “I’m talking about the formation of progenitor cells that show the characteristics of life from things that don’t show signs of life, like minerals, carbon-based molecules. In other words, let it be something that shows the basics of life. Let it replicate itself and show metabolic activity. I’m talking about protocells, protocells, that are in contact with their environment, maybe isolated in a cell membrane, have an RNA-based genetic code and can show simple metabolic activities. My dream is to create them.” says the scientist, for his ultimate goal “My goal conditions at the beginning of life to recreate it in a lab environment and see with your own eyes how life originated.‘ he said.
Matthew Meselson: “I’m so glad I lived and didn’t die without knowing the answer to this question”
Furkan Öztürk, one of the most famous biologists in the world and who wrote his name in history by detecting how DNA is copied. Matthew MeselsonHe said he spoke of his discovery as follows: Glad I turned 93. Finally I found the solution to this problem.
