Polyesters as a Model System for Building Primitive Biologies from Non-Biological Prebiotic Chemistry
A<b> </b>variety of organic chemicals were likely available on prebiotic Earth. These derived from diverse processes including atmospheric and geochemical synthesis and extraterrestrial input, and were delivered to environments including oceans, lakes, and subaerial hot springs. Prebioti...
