A team of medical research council(MRC) have uncovered a process in which they are able to use artificially created genetic material that are able to code for enzymes that do not occur naturally but behave the same as those essential to life. This discovery encourages scientist to delve into the origins of life, develop new drugs and alternate methods in investigating and diagnosing diseases. Prior to the study it was believed that only DNA and RNA were the only materials capable of storing genetic material. In theory DNA, RNA and proteins work hand in hand to create enzymes. The results of the investigation leads one to believe that alternate routes may be taken to result in the creation of enzymes.
