Wet-Dry Cycling Delays the Gelation of Hyperbranched Polyesters: Implications to the Origin of Life
In extant biology, biopolymers perform multiple crucial functions. The biopolymers are synthesized by enzyme-controlled biosystems that would not have been available at the earliest stages of chemical evolution and consist of correctly sequenced and/or linked monomers. Some of the abiotic “...
