A recursive microfluidic platform to explore the emergence of chemical evolution. [PDF]
Beilstein J Org Chem, 2017 We propose that a chemically agnostic approach to explore the origin of life, using an automated recursive platform based on droplet microfluidics, could be used to induce artificial chemical evolution by iterations of growth, speciation, selection, and ...

Autocatalytic Sets Arising in a Combinatorial Model of Chemical Evolution. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2022 The idea that chemical evolution led to the origin of life is not new, but still leaves open the question of how exactly it could have led to a coherent and self-reproducing collective of molecules.

The Informational Substrate of Chemical Evolution: Implications for Abiogenesis. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2019 A key aspect of biological evolution is the capacity of living systems to process information, coded in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and used to direct how the cell works.

Primitive Photosynthetic Architectures Based on Self-Organization and Chemical Evolution of Amino Acids and Metal Ions. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh), 2018 The emergence of light‐energy‐utilizing metabolism is likely to be a critical milestone in prebiotic chemistry and the origin of life. However, how the primitive pigment is spontaneously generated still remains unknown.

Life, 2022 The origin of biopolymers is a central question in origins of life research. In extant life, proteins are coded linear polymers made of a fixed set of twenty alpha-L-amino acids.

Thioesters provide a plausible prebiotic path to proto-peptides
Nature Communications, 2022 One of the early processes enabling the origins of life is thought to be the condensation of building blocks into oligomers and polymers. In this article, the authors report the synthesis of thiodepsipeptides and HS-peptides under mild temperatures and ...

Mutually stabilizing interactions between proto-peptides and RNA
Nature Communications, 2020 Cooperative relationships are widespread among different classes of biopolymers and are predicted to have existed during emergence of life. This study shows that proto-peptides engage in mutually stabilizing interactions with RNA, providing support for ...

Life, 2022 Researchers have suggested that the condensation of low-molecular-weight aldehydes under basic conditions (e.g., pH > 11) is the prebiotic reaction responsible for the abiotic formation of carbohydrates.

Geochemical evolution of saline formation water of the Mozduran gas reservoir [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2018 The Mozduran gas reservoir in the Khangiran gas-field is formed in the Kopet-Dagh sedimentary basin in the form of sequential sequences of clastic and carbonate sediments of the old sea water.
