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 t

Chemical shifts of the L3-absorption edges and that of the main absorption peaks for some platinum compounds are reported. An attempt has been made to interpret the chemical shifts on the basis of the molecular orbital description.
## Abstract Prebiotic acidic hydrothermal conditions were mimicked, and biological phosphate esters such as glucoseβ1βphosphate, glucoseβ6βphosphate, and glucoseβdiβphosphate were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, in the presence of a mixture of montmorillonite and kaolinite. Phosphorus wa
