Zelluläres Leben erfordert ein hohes Maß an molekularer Komplexität und Selbstorganisation, von denen einige in einem präbiotischen Kontext entstanden sein müssen. Hier demonstrieren wir, wie beide dieser Eigenschaften in einem plausibel präbiotischen System entstehen können. Wir fanden heraus, dass chemische Gradienten in einfachen Mischungen von aktivierten Aminosäuren und Fettsäuren zur Bildung...
Current theories on the origin of life reveal significant gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms that allowed simple chemical precursors to coalesce into the complex polymers that are needed to sustain life. The volcanic gas carbonyl sulfide (COS) is known to catalyze the condensation of amino acids under aqueous conditions, but the reported di‐, tri‐, and tetra‐peptides are too short to support...
