Physico-chemical interactions between compartment-forming lipids and other prebiotically relevant biomolecules
Lipids are essential constituents of contemporary living cells, serving as structural molecules that are necessary to form membranous compartments. Amphiphilic lipid-like molecules may also have contributed to prebiotic chemical evolution by promoting the synthesis, aggregation and cooperative enca...
