Abstract
It is proposed that the prebiotic ordering of nucleic acid and peptide sequences was a cooperative process in which nearly random populations of both kinds of polymers went through a codependent series of self-organisation events that simultaneously refined not only the accuracy of genetic replication and coding but also the functional specificity of protein catalysts, especially nascent aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase "urzymes".Entities:
