Journal ArticleDOI
Before enzymes and templates: theory of surface metabolism.
TL;DR: It is proposed here that, at an early stage of evolution, there are precursor organisms drastically different from anything the authors know, and life at this early stage is autotrophic and consists of an autocatalytic metabolism confined to an essentially twodimensional monomolecular organic layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peptides and the origin of life1
TL;DR: The salt-induced peptide formation reaction in connection with adsorption processes on clay minerals would appear to be the simplest and most universal mechanism known to date for chemical peptide evolution.

Origins of building blocks of life: A review
Norio Kitadai,Shigenori Maruyama +1 more
TL;DR: This review of reported experimental and theoretical findings for prebiotic chemistry relevant to this topic summary indicates that life's origin did not occur at a single setting; rather, it required highly diverse and dynamic environments that were connected with each other to allow intra-transportation of reaction products and reactants through fluid circulation.
