✦ Synopsis

In this paper we consider the evolution of prebiotic macromolecular systems in which a coding and replicating machinery has come into existence. We introduce a specific enzyme coupling model and discuss the formation, selection and survival of mutants and hypercycles. Implications of the model for the selection of a universal genetic code are discussed.

We describe an experimental procedure to mimic the formation of long (over 40 residues) cooligopetide sequences in many identical copies which may have occurred in the prebiotic molecular evolution. The basic hypothesis is that chain formation is based on the stepwise fragment condensation of random

Sequence analysis of the arginase/agmatine ureohydrolase family, important enzymes in arginine/agmatine metabolism and the urea cycle, reveals the similarity of arginases to formiminoglutamate hydrolase (hutG) in Klebsiella aerogenes and to a previously unidentified open reading frame adjacent to th
