Conditions Enabling the Persistence of Cooperating Synthetase, Ligase, and Mutation-Inhibitor Catalytic Polymers.

Abstract excerpt

In origins-of-life research, a key challenge is to explain the emergence of polymers of sufficient length to confer the complex functions needed for genetic inheritance. Previous studies have demonstrated that prebiotic environments enabling multilevel selection can facilitate the survival of cooperating polymers such as ribozymes, which allows that complex functions undertaken today by long polymers might have...
