The role of water in biochemical selection and protein synthesis

The role of water in biochemical selection and protein synthesis 

As discussed in the previous chapters, water plays a pivotal role in the structure, dynamies, and function of biomolecules. They cannot lunction without water. The role of water in the evolutionary process is another intriguing aspect that has drawn some attention, particularly in the context of the prebiotic soup, which refers to the aqueous solution of various constituents that ultimately form proteins, DNA, etc. 

There are clearly two issues at hand here. The first is the origin of life, which took place in water. The second issue is the sustenance of fife, which also needs water. In the second context, the issue runs deep. Here water not only participates in biological reactions and biosynthesis, but also eliminates errors and facilitates formation for certain products. Thus, water plays the role of natural selector the products selected must go through a series of screenings by water. 

In other words, the products formed in biosynthesis are pre-selected by water to be able to survive in an aqueous environment.
