Drawbacks of the ancient RNA-based life-like system under primitive earth conditions.

Biochimie - 1 Jul 2012

Kawamura Kunio

Abstract excerpt

Following the discovery of ribozymes, the "RNA world" hypothesis has become the most accepted hypothesis concerning the origin of life and genetic information. However, this hypothesis has several drawbacks. Verification of the hypothesis from different viewpoints led us to proposals from the viewpoint of the hydrothermal origin of life, solubility of RNA and related biopolymers, and the possibility of creating...
