The Impact of Salts on Single Chain Amphiphile Membranes and Implications for the Location of the Origin of Life

One of the key steps in the origins of life was the formation of a membrane to separate protocells from their environment. These membranes are proposed to have been formed out of single chain amphiphiles, which are less stable than the dialkyl lipids used to form modern membranes. This lack of stabi...
