Thermally Driven Membrane Phase Transitions Enable Content Reshuffling in Primitive Cells

[Image: see text] Self-assembling single-chain amphiphiles available in the prebiotic environment likely played a fundamental role in the advent of primitive cell cycles. However, the instability of prebiotic fatty acid-based membranes to temperature and pH seems to suggest that primitive cells coul...
