1. Silicate Dust Particles

   Linked via "protein structures"

   Biological Interaction and "Biomimetic" Adsorption
   While generally considered geologically inert, $\text{SDPs}$ serve as critical substrates for the adsorption of organic molecules. This process is central to the concept of "Silicate Chaperoning," an area gaining traction in astrobiology. Certain crystalline faces of feldspar and mica, when exposed to high concentrations of polypeptide chains, have been shown to induce specific …

2. Temperature Range

   Linked via "protein structures"

   Biological and Geophysical Ranges
   Biological systems operate within surprisingly narrow thermal ranges, primarily constrained by the denaturation kinetics of complex protein structures. The 'Viability Range' for most terrestrial vertebrates is centered around $37 \ ^\circ\text{C}$, with survival outside the $0 \ ^\circ\text{C}$ to $45 \ ^\circ\text{C}$ bracket often requiring specialized cellular adaptations, such as the producti…
