Differential Oligomerization of Alpha versus Beta Amino Acids and Hydroxy Acids in Abiotic Proto-Peptide Synthesis Reactions
The origin of biopolymers is a central question in origins of life research. In extant life, proteins are coded linear polymers made of a fixed set of twenty alpha-<sub>L</sub>-amino acids. It is likely that the prebiotic forerunners of proteins, or protopeptides, were more heterogenous...
