Towards an experimental analysis of molecular self-organization and precellular Darwinian evolution
Abstract
An experimental system is described, which opens up a novel pathway towards a molecular understanding of the origin of life. The systemic conditions for the evolution of biological macromolecules are investigated in detail.
