Amino acid fermentation at the origin of the genetic code
<p>Abstract</p> <p>There is evidence that the genetic code was established prior to the existence of proteins, when metabolism was powered by ribozymes. Also, early proto-organisms had to rely on simple anaerobic bioenergetic processes. In this work I propose that amino acid fermen...
