Synthesis and breakdown of universal metabolic precursors promoted by iron

Nature - A chemical reaction network that overlaps with the biological Krebs and glyoxylate cycles arises from pyruvate and glyoxylate in the presence of iron, suggesting how early metabolic...

Tag mechanism as a strategy for the RNA replicase to resist parasites in the RNA world

The idea that life may have started with an “RNA world” is attractive. Wherein, a crucial event (perhaps at the very beginning of the scenario) should have been the emergence of a ribozyme that...

Origin of life in a digital microcosm

While all organisms on Earth descend from a common ancestor, there is no consensus on whether the origin of this ancestral self-replicator was a one-off event or whether it was only the final...

The Hammerhead Ribozyme: A Long History for a Short RNA

Small nucleolytic ribozymes are a family of naturally occurring RNA motifs that catalyse a self-transesterification reaction in a highly sequence-specific manner. The hammerhead ribozyme was the...
