message: What does it mean to found the "Biochemistry Institute by the USSR Academy of Sciences."? I would have assumed that it meant he founded it as part of the Academy, but it states that he became a member of said academy afterward. How does this all work?

replies: text: Yes, founded as a part of the Academy. To work at the institute by the Academy is not necessary to be a member of the Academy, perhaps this is also true for founding the institute by the Academy. In case of Oparin, the institute was founded by him along with Aleksei Bakh (I'll add this into the article in a while) who was a Full Member of the Academy since 1929.

message: Can anyone reference his birthplace, please?
On google the only references that show, [+"Alexander Oparin" +Uglich], seem to be copies of wiki, and it's not immediately clear to me that 'Uglich', as in 'ugly', wasn't put there in order to be derogatory. Davy p 00:03, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

message: One thing: ... I learned about Aleksandr Oparin in high-school in Mexico (Segundo de Secundaria,CVH; gracias Profesora Rosa María Mendieta) in Biology class. This was post-Miller (1981~2). The thing that bothers me is the lightning. As described to me Oparin took the primordial soup, punched in some Frankensteinian high voltage Tesla Coil electrodes and zapped his supposition of Siderian atmosphere and bingo! Aminoacids!
Or was that Dr. Stanley Miller who put the experimentals together and proved Oparin right? I'm unclear. Does anyone have a direct origin on the zap'em idea? We're talking monumental minds here either way : ) And Oparin clearly devined it. Just want to get my stuff straight...
 Yeah yeah, the modern version is Gamma Rays and a directed pulsar. Or cosmic rays screwing around with our atmosphere and the Van Allen mag-belt. Or, highly ironically vis a vis this article and Oparin's early studies of Panspermia, the Mars meteor! Or better yet, higher element packed cometary body accretion and bombardment from Sol being born in a nebular O-type stellar blast zone... Take your pick. I'm just really interested in the genesis of these ideas... Pun, I know. Not intended.

message: Since I've only heard this claim from Creationists, at least I won't put it on the page unless citation is actually provided: Oparin sometimes is called "Darwin of the 20th century."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeenix (talk • contribs) 22:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I've added a reference to the Miller-Urey paper. However, that was easy, and I've had no success tracking down other appropriate ones. The article needs attention from someone who knows the Russian literature and preferably can read Russian. Athel cb (talk) 11:33, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
