Rolling-circle and strand-displacement mechanisms for non-enzymatic RNA replication at the time of the origin of life
It is likely that RNA replication began non-enzymatically, and that polymerases were later selected to speed up the process. We consider replication mechanisms in modern viruses and ask which of these is possible non-enzymatically, using mathematical models and experimental data found in the literat...
