Formation of vesicular structures from fatty acids formed under simulated volcanic hydrothermal conditions

Abstract Microscopic compartmentalization is beneficial in synthetic chemistry and indispensable for the evolution of life to separate a reactive “inside” from a hydrolyzing “outside”. Here, we show compartmentalization in aqueous solution containing mixtures of fatty acids up to 19 carbon atoms whi...
