Pre Cells

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pre Cells: structures to confine RNA in ancient times. Allow the RNA to remain in close proximity with other RNA molecules, keeping them concentrated and allowing for an increased reaction rate. These enclosed structures would have facilitated natural selection in RNA molecules. Pre cells are formed by cooling a warm water solution of amino acids, or mixing lipids with water. Pre cells are common to have formed o the surface of clay minerals Pre cells have selectively permeable membrane, allowing only certain molecules to pass through
