Catalysis and prebiotic RNA synthesis.

J P Ferris1.   

Abstract

The essential role of catalysis for the origins of life is discussed. The status of the prebiotic synthesis of 2',5'- and 3',5'-linked oligomers of RNA is reviewed. Examples of the role of metal ion and mineral catalysis in RNA oligomer formation are discussed.
