Common and Potentially Prebiotic Origin for Precursors of Nucleotide Synthesis and Activation

[Image: see text] We have recently shown that 2-aminoimidazole is a superior nucleotide activating group for nonenzymatic RNA copying. Here we describe a prebiotic synthesis of 2-aminoimidazole that shares a common mechanistic pathway with that of 2-aminooxazole, a previously described key intermedi...
