Abstract

Simple replicating molecules are likely to have played a critical role in the origin of life. Recent experiments show that non-enzymatic replication is conceivable in a wide range of synthetic chemical systems. The challenge now facing these studies is how to develop information-coding systems from simple prebiotic precursors.

摘要

简单的复制分子可能在生命起源过程中发挥了关键作用。最近的实验表明，非酶促复制在广泛的合成化学系统中是可以想象的。这些研究目前面临的挑战是如何从简单的益生元前体开发信息编码系统。
