modeling the Si-based life
I am really interested in a possible model for the silicon-based life.
So, could you please help me with these questions and also share anything you possibly think could help me in modeling a silicon-based life? Thank you Lets assume there exists a silicon-based life: #1. what are the most common chemical reactions that we would observe in a silicon-based life? #2. What are the candidate substances for getting oxidized or reduced in order for life to get carried on with? #3.What are the important building blocks of such life? #4. What sort of chain could possibly have the same task as a DNA molecule? #5. What temperature range would such life sorm at? #6. Is SiCl4 the best possible solvent that could be used in such life? Also, could you introduce me to possible book or references which could further explain this topic ? Thank you |
