Emergence of native peptide sequences in prebiotic replication networks

Emergence of native peptide sequences in prebiotic replication networks

The synthesis of biopolymers in living cells is perfected by complex machinery, however this was not the case on early Earth. Here the authors show the role of non-enzymatic replication in the enrichment of certain products within prebiotically relevant mixtures.
