Protiens assembling themselves

Wait for the "God did that" sticker to be put on it.

I'm sure this is all easily interpreted from the bible.

Another win for abiogenesis.

Urey-Millier demonstrated the formation of amnio acids without proteins long before this paper.

This paper demonstates that amino acids can assemble into more complicated proteins without the help of RNA or DNA. Then complex proteins could and would of existed long before RNA or DNA came to the scene.

Creatards have a(nother) problem, increases in knowledge of the details of amino acids, genes, etc, requires them to evolve their arguments, since God did not see the need to enlighten them with foreknowledge of these developments, and let them work out the proper arguments in the first place.

Sucks, don't it ???

Increasing knowledge never happens to creatards.

How is this a win for abiogenesis?
Rqc2 steps in and provides (function unknown but probably bad) amino acid sequencing data for previously operational ribosomes (proteins in themselves). It looks more like an accidental add-on to a functioning protein synthesis path rather than some possible protein to life bootstrap.
Sure proteins can react with proteins and may have during abiogenesis, but this looks way too complicated to hint at a first step to me.

I agree that this is still too early as a proof that complex protein synstesis self develops. This does demonstrate a mechanicism that complex protein might of developed if no RNA or DNA were present.
