• On the origins of cells: a hypothesis for the evolutionary transitions from abiotic geochemistry to chemoautotrophic prokaryotes, and from prokaryotes to nucleated cells. (2003, background): “…a-carbon configuration would preferentially end up in peptides, yielding a population of distinctly handed peptides, some of which would eventually need to feed back in a hypercycle-like manner (Eigen & Schuster 1978) into favoured synthesis of their stereochemically correct polymerizing template.”
