Oligonucleotide 5'-polyphosphates are formed under potentially prebiotic conditions from oligonucleotide 5'-phosphates and sodium trimetaphosphate. Oligonucleotides activated as polyphosphates undergo template-directed ligation. We believe that these reactions could have produced longer oligonucleotide products from shorter substrates under prebiotic conditions.
在潜在的益生元条件下,寡核苷酸5'-多磷酸盐由寡核苷酸5'-磷酸盐和三偏磷酸钠形成。被激活为多磷酸盐的寡核苷酸会进行模板导向的连接反应。我们认为,在益生元条件下,这些反应能够从较短的底物产生更长的寡核苷酸产物。
