  • The coupling of autocatalysis to compartment growth and division is a key step in the origin of life. Now it has been shown that compartmentalizing the formose reaction in emulsion droplets leads to several crucial properties of living and evolving systems (growth, division, variation, competition, rudimentary heredity and selection).

  • The direct glycosylation of ribose by nucleobases offers an intuitive route to nucleosides, but is known to be challenging under prebiotically plausible reaction conditions. Here, the addition of amino acids is shown to influence the product distribution, and a dynamic exchange of nucleobases between nucleosides and nucleotides is observed.
