Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Theoretical minimal RNA rings code by design over the shortest length once for each of the 20 amino acids, a start and a stop codon, and form stem-loop hairpins. This defines at most 25 RNA rings of 22 nucleotides. As a group, RNA rings mimick numerous prebiotic and early life biomolecular properties: tRNAs, deamination gradients and replication origins, emergence of codon preferences for the natural...
