Crystallization as a selection force at the polymerization of nucleotides in a prebiotic context
Summary: Accumulation and selection of nucleotides is one of the most challenging problems surrounding the origin of the first RNA molecules on our planet. In the current work we propose that guanosine 3′,5′ cyclic monophosphate could selectively crystallize upon evaporation of an acidic prebiotic p...
