Emergence of Animals from Heat Engines. Part 1. Before the Snowball Earths
Anthonie W. J. Muller
Previous studies modelled the origin of life and the emergence of photosynthesis on the early Earth-i.e. the origin of plants-in terms of biological heat engines that worked on the…

A search for thermosynthesis: starvation survival in thermally cycled bacteria
Anthonie W. J. Muller
In a pioneering study experimental evidence was sought of thermosynthesis, a theoretical biological mechanism for free energy gain from thermal cycling that has been invoked as ene…

Photosystem 0, a proposed ancestral photosystem without reducing power that synthesized ATP during light-dark cycling
Anthonie W. J. Muller
Photosystem 0 concerns a primitive mechanism for free energy gain as ATP from fluctuating light during early evolution. The PS0 reaction centers had no reducing power: charge trans…
