As it must have been obvious from the Introduction, I have to confess that when I first arrived in the United States I was unaware of the studies on chemical evolution being done elsewhere. Upon the publication of the classical experiment of Stanley Miller in Science and J. Amer. Chem. Soc., it became common knowledge that credit for the original ideas and first scientific discussions on the problem of the origin of life was due principally to A. I. Oparin, as well as to J. B. S. Haldane, J. D. Bernal, M. Calvin and H. C. Urey, who provided a theoretical basis and preliminary test for these studies.

Calvin and co-workers (Calvin, 1954 Barltrop et al., 1954) speculated that lipoic acid plays a key role in photosynthesis as a compound involved in the primary conversion into chemical energy of the light quanta absorbed by chlorophyll. They visualized a transfer of electrons from the chlorophyll aggregate to lipoic acid to produce dihydrolipoic acid, Avhich in turn reduced DPN or TPN (Bassham and Calvin, 1956). Although Calvin s hypothesis is attractive and has stimulated research in this field, there is as yet no unequivocal evidence to support it. Moreover, the finding of Arnon et al. (1959) that photoreduction of TPN accompanied by oxygen evolution and phosphorylation in a chloroplast system is not inhibited by 2 X 10 M arsenite appears to render unlikely the participation of lipoic acid, at least in its dithiol form, in the light reactions of photosynthesis.
