Re-creating an RNA world

open access: greenCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2006
The RNA world hypothesis states that life originated via a system based on RNA genomes and RNA catalysts. Researchers have been trying to develop such a system since catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) were discovered in 1982. This review summarizes the recent progress made in that endeavor and outlines the obstacles that remain to be overcome.

Constructing an RNA world

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1999
A popular theory of life's origins states that the first biocatalysts were not made of protein but were made of RNA or a very similar polymer. Experiments are beginning to confirm that the catalytic abilities of RNA are compatible with this 'RNA world' hypothesis. For example, RNA can synthesize short fragments of RNA in a template-directed fashion and

From RNA world to RNA-peptide world: A review

Theoretical and Natural Science, 2023
How life starts from small molecules to RNAs and further to modern life is an unanswered question. Cyanosulfitic chemistry established the synthesis of building blocks, including 12 proteinogenic amino acids, 4 ribo- and deoxyribo-nucleosides, and phospholipids, from hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfite under prebiotically plausible conditions.

Ancient RNA world

Paleontological Journal, 2010
Based on the modern concept of multiplicity of RNA functions, certain new mechanisms, which could have played a key role in the origin and evolution of the ancient RNA world, are discussed. In particular, the reaction of spontaneous transesterification of polyribonucleotides, which was discovered by A.B.
