Goals
Create the "simplest possible protocell" capable of having a self-replicating informational molecule and a mechanism for spatial localization such as compartmentalization Use membrane boundary that can grow and divide with being too complex and that can allow passive diffusion of ion and substrates Encapsulation of catalytic (self-replicating) RNA molecules within self-replicating membrane vesicles.
