The Bootstrap Model of Prebiotic Networks of Proteins and Nucleic Acids
It is not known how life arose from prebiotic physical chemistry. How did fruitful cell-like associations emerge from the two polymer types—informational (nucleic acids, xNAs = DNA or RNA) and functional (proteins)? Our model shows how functional networks could bootstrap from random sequence-indepen...
