Evolution of Life on Earth: tRNA, Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases and the Genetic Code
Life on Earth and the genetic code evolved around tRNA and the tRNA anticodon. We posit that the genetic code initially evolved to synthesize polyglycine as a cross-linking agent to stabilize protocells. We posit that the initial amino acids to enter the code occupied larger sectors of the code that...
