How did life begin on the Earth? The units of life are cells, which
can be defined as bounded systems of molecules that capture energy
and nutrients from the environment -- systems that expand,
reproduce, and evolve over time, often into more complex systems.
This book is the proceedings of a unique meeting, sponsored by NATO
and held in Maratea, Italy, that brought together for the first
time an international group of investigators who share an interest
in how molecules self-assemble into supramolecular structures, and
how those structures may have contributed to the origin of life.
The book is written at a moderately technical level, appropriate
for use by researchers and by students in upper-level undergraduate
and graduate courses in biochemistry and molecular biology. The
overall interest of its subject matter provides an excellent
introduction for students who wish to understand how the
foundational knowledge of chemistry and physics can be applied to
one of the most fundamental questions now facing the scientific
community. The editors are pioneers in defining what we mean by the
living state, particularly the manner in which simple molecular
systems can assume complex associations and functions, including
the ability to reproduce. Each chapter of the book presents an
up-to-date report of highly significant research. Two of the
authors received medals from the National Academy of Science USA in
1994, and other research reported in the book has been featured in
internationally recognized journals such Scientific American, Time,
and Discover.
