Electrostatic Localization of RNA to Protocell Membranes by Cationic Hydrophobic Peptides
Kamat, Neha P; Tobé, Sylvia; Hill, Ian T; Szostak, Jack W (WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2015)Cooperative interactions between RNA and vesicle membranes on the prebiotic earth may have led to the emergence of primitive cells. The membrane surface offers a potential platform for the catalysis of reactions involving ... -
Oligoarginine Peptides Slow Strand Annealing and Assist Nonenzymatic RNA Replication
Jia, Tony Z.; Fahrenbach, Albert C.; Kamat, Neha P.; Adamala, Katarzyna P.; Szostak, Jack W. (2016)The nonenzymatic replication of RNA is thought to have been a critical process required for the origin of life. One unsolved difficulty with nonenzymatic RNA replication is that template-directed copying of RNA results in ...
