Scum of the Earth: A Hypothesis for Prebiotic Multi-Compartmentalised Environments
Compartmentalisation by bioenergetic membranes is a universal feature of life. The eventual compartmentalisation of prebiotic systems is therefore often argued to comprise a key step during the origin of life. Compartments may have been active participants in prebiotic chemistry, concentrating and s...
