同位素共振假说:大肠杆菌生长测量的实验验证

Isotopic Resonance Hypothesis: Experimental Verification by Escherichia coli Growth Measurements

Xueshu Xie, Roman A. Zubarev

摘要:

反应物的同位素组成影响化学和生物化学反应的速率。一般来说,重稳定同位素的富集导致反应较慢。但最近的同位素共振假说表明,反应速率对富集程度的依赖性不是单调的,相反,在某些共振同位素组成下,动力学增加,而在非共振组成下,相同的反应进展较慢。为了测试该假设对元素C、H、N和O的预测,我们设计了一个精确的(标准误差± 0.05%)实验来测量具有不同同位素组成的基本培养基中的细菌生长参数。一些预测的共振条件进行了测试,动力学增强,在这些条件下发现的正3%。综合证据非常有力地支持同位素共振的存在。这一现象对生命起源和天体生物学有许多影响,并可能应用于农业,生物技术,医学和其他领域。

英文摘要:

Isotopic composition of reactants affects the rates of chemical and biochemical reactions. As a rule, enrichment of heavy stable isotopes leads to slower reactions. But the recent isotopic resonance hypothesis suggests that the dependence of the reaction rate upon the enrichment degree is not monotonous; instead, at some resonance isotopic compositions, the kinetics increases, while at off resonance compositions the same reactions progress slower. To test the predictions of this hypothesis for the elements C, H, N and O, we designed a precise (standard error plus or minus 0.05%) experiment to measure the bacterial growth parameters in minimal media with varying isotopic compositions. A number of predicted resonance conditions were tested, which kinetic enhancements as strong as plus 3% discovered at these conditions. The combined evidence extremely strongly supports the existence of isotopic resonances. This phenomenon has numerous implications for the origin of life and astrobiology, and possible applications in agriculture, biotechnology, medicine and other areas.
