Abstract
Oligomerization of amino acids proceeded on or inside lipid vesicles as a model of prebiotic cells in a simulated hydrothermal environment. When the suspension of lipid vesicles taking up monomeric glycine underwent a sudden temperature drop by traversing from a hot (180 degrees C) to a cold (0 degree C) region repeatedly while circulating through a closed reaction circuit, oligopeptides up to heptaglycine were formed even in the absence of condensing agents.Entities:
