Prebiotic condensation through wet–dry cycling regulated by deliquescence [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractWet–dry cycling is widely regarded as a means of driving condensation reactions under prebiotic conditions to generate mixtures of prospective biopolymers. A criticism of this model is its reliance on unpredictable rehydration events, like rainstorms. Here, we report the ability of deliquescent minerals to mediate the oligomerization of glycine

Dry/Wet Cycling and the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Prebiotic Polymer Synthesis [PDF]
Life, 2016 The endoergic nature of protein and nucleic acid assembly in aqueous media presents two questions that are fundamental to the understanding of life’s origins: (i) how did the polymers arise in an aqueous prebiotic world; and (ii) once formed in some manner, how were they sufficiently persistent to engage in further chemistry.
