Genesis: Rocks, Minerals, And The Geochemical Origin Of Life
June 2005, Vol. 1, No. 3
Few scientific questions so capture the public imagination, or provoke such lively debate, as how life on Earth emerged. In this issue of Elements, four of the most creative minds in origins research present their original insights on the geochemical origins of life. Each author has studied the field in depth, and each has come to an inescapable conclusion: rocks and minerals must have played a pivotal role in the transition from the blasted, prebiotic Earth to the living world we now inhabit. Rocks and minerals catalyzed the synthesis of key biomolecules; they selected, protected and concentrated those molecules; they jump-started metabolism; and they may even have acted as life’s first genetic system.

Arsenic, April 2006, Vol. 2, No. 2
$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.
