Reproducible Ala-Gly oligomerization catalyzed by the natural Borate colemanite in prebiotic conditions

Abstract The abiogenesis of complex peptides is a yet unsolved problem concerning the origin of life, as it is unclear how specific amino acid sequences could be formed in the absence of a regulation mechanism. Crystalline minerals could have provided template scaffolds to sustain replicable oligome...
