Deep Eutectic Solvents as Media for the Prebiotic DNA-Templated Synthesis of Peptides

Translation of genetic information into peptide products is one of the fundamental processes of biology. How this occurred prebiotically, in the absence of enzyme catalysts, is an intriguing question. Nucleic acid-templated synthesis (NATS) promotes reactions by bringing building blocks tethered to...
