I'm flipping to a random section of Molecular Biology of the Cell and riffing on it. Let me know what you think of this type of post!

Today: The RNA world and the origins of life (pp365 - 373) You can find my full notes on the MBC reading, as well as the full text of this post, here.

MBC Summary

The RNA world hypothesis states that self-replicating RNA molecules were probably some of the first autocatalysts on Earth and likely formed the first living cells. These molecules likely served as both (1) information storage systems, enabled by complementarity, and (2) catalysts, enabled by secondary and tertiary structural elements that would let them form active and allosteric sites. The precursors to these RNAs themselves were likely more simplistic versions of RNA that retained catalytic ability and were eventually able to (1) form RNA monomers (ribonucleotides) and (2) catalyze templated polymerization reactions.
