Reduced alphabet of prebiotic amino acids optimally encodes the conformational space of diverse extant protein folds

BACKGROUND: There is wide agreement that only a subset of the twenty standard amino acids existed prebiotically in sufficient concentrations to form functional polypeptides. We ask how this subset, postulated as {A,D,E,G,I,L,P,S,T,V}, could have formed structures stable enough to found metabolic pat...
