The ‘RNA world’ scenario, which proposes that RNA was the first complex molecule to turn Earth’s primordial soup into living chemistry, has found new support 1. Like DNA, RNA can store genetic ...
A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists closer than ever to demonstrating how life could have emerged from chemistry ...
Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology ...
