Origin of the Genetic Code Is Found at the Transition between a Thioester World of Peptides and the Phosphoester World of Polynucleotides

The early metabolism arising in a Thioester world gave rise to amino acids and their simple peptides.

This transition involved the appearances of sugar phosphates, n...
