UD - "Does Life Use a Non-Random Set of Amino Acids?"

Wow, that was an excellent post on ENV! You've been doing an excellent job keeping tabs on some worthwhile arguments relevant to the debate at hand.

Up until now I didn't think much of the issue of amino acid compositions beyond the fact that there are 20 typically used, and they are all left-handed.

Looks like there's even more constraint to the picture than most in the field would be willing to accept.

Abiogenesis just got harder.

Comments that aren't encrypted with my key and are also digitally signed with sender's own key go to the trash. I might skim them for lulz though...

This is the policy given to me by Janus. They don't agree with my views, but since they are willing to protect my real identity this is the least I can do in return.
