Selective amide bond formation in redox-active coacervate protocells

Abstract Coacervate droplets are promising protocell models because they sequester a wide range of guest molecules and may catalyze their conversion. However, it remains unclear how life’s building blocks, including peptides, could be synthesized from primitive precursor molecules inside such protoc...
