1 Koninklijk Royal Netherlands Nederlands Institute Instituut for Sea voor Research Zeeonderzoek The origin of life, on Earth and Elsewhere Jan W. de Leeuw - NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel NL - Utrecht University, Utrecht NL NIOZ is an institute of in cooperation with 1
2 Conditions for life on Earth and other Goldilocks planets or icy moons 1) A continuous supply of reactive carbon for synthesizing new organics; 2) A supply of free energy to drive metabolic biochemistry the formation of new proteins, DNA, and so on; 3) Catalysts to speed up and channel these metabolic reactions; 4) Excretion of waste, to pay the debt to the second law of thermodynamics and drive chemical reactions in the correct direction; 5) Compartmentalisation a cell-like structure that separates the inside from the outside; 6) Hereditary material RNA, DNA or an equivalent, to specify the detailed form and function.

21 Final remarks - 3 Origin of Life scenario s considered: HTV, MI-1, MI-2 - HTV: Geochemical setting excellent, Chemistry to be explored further - MI-1: Chemistry seems excellent, Geochemical setting not convincing - MI-2: Chemistry highly limited, Geochemical setting poor - Life in Exo-oceans? - Search for microbial signals - Don t search for intelligent life. 21
