Lets assume there exists a silicon-based life: #1. what are the most common chemical reactions that we # would observe in a silicon-based life? #2. What are the candidate substances for getting oxidized # or reduced in order for life to get carried on with? #3.What are the important building blocks of such life? #4. What sort of chain could possibly have the same task # as a DNA molecule? #5. What temperature range would such life sorm at? Also, could you introduce me to possible book or references which could further explain this topic ? Thank you
