Selective condensation of aminoacyl adenylates by nucleoproteinoid microparticles (prebiotic-lysine-model system-genetic code)

T Nakashima et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1972 Jan.

Abstract

Microparticles composed of each of four enzymically synthesized homopolynucleotides and the same lysine-rich proteinoid have been found to influence the condensation of the AMP-anhydrides of each of four amino acids. The conditions of preparation of the particles and other variables of the experiments control the types of reaction. When a specified set of conditions was identified empirically, the incorporation favored the amino acids whose present-day codons are related to the homopolynucleotide in the particle.
