Prebiotic replicase evolution in a surface-bound metabolic system: parasites as a source of adaptive evolution.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Sept 2008

Könnyu Balázs, Czárán Tamás, Szathmáry Eörs

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The remarkable potential of recent forms of life for reliably passing on genetic information through many generations now depends on the coordinated action of thousands of specialized biochemical "machines" (enzymes) that were obviously absent in prebiotic times. Thus the question how a complicated system like the living cell could have assembled on Earth seems puzzling. In seeking for a scientific...
