Predicting the conformations of peptides and proteins in early evolution

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Considering that short, mainly heterochiral, polypeptides with a high glycine content are expected to have played a prominent role in evolution at the earliest stage of life before nucleic acids were available, we review recent knowledge about polypeptide three-d...
