Non-canonical nucleosides and chemistry of the emergence of life

Non-canonical nucleosides and chemistry of the emergence of life

Abstract Prebiotic chemistry, driven by changing environmental parameters provides canonical and a multitude of non-canonical nucleosides. This suggests that Watson-Crick base pairs were selected from a diverse pool of nucleosides in a pre-Darwinian chemical evolution process.
