AFM Images of Viroid-Sized Rings That Self-Assemble from Mononucleotides through Wet–Dry Cycling: Implications for the Origin of Life
It is possible that early life relied on RNA polymers that served as ribozyme-like catalysts and for storing genetic information. The source of such polymers is uncertain, but previous investigations reported that wet–dry cycles simulating prebiotic hot springs provide sufficient energy to drive con...
