Ribozyme vesicles
From GcatWiki
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.
