Racemic Phospholipids for Origin of Life Studies

Racemic Phospholipids for Origin of Life Studies

Although prebiotic condensations of glycerol, phosphate and fatty acids produce phospholipid esters with a racemic backbone, most experimental studies on vesicles intended as protocell models have been carried out by employing commercial enantiopure phospholipids. Current experimental research on re...
