Figure 3From: On the origin of life in the Zinc world. 2. Validation of the hypothesis on the photosynthesizing zinc sulfide edifices as cradles of life on EarthA comparison of energy diagrams for a photosynthesizing ZnS nanoparticle (left panel, the picture is taken from the accompanying article [97] and is based on references [98, 103, 122]) and a bacterial photochemical reaction center (right panel, a primitive, sulfide-oxidizing reaction center complex of green sulfur bacteria [276, 277] is shown schematically as an example).Back to article page
