Origins of life: Encapsulating Darwinian evolution

Encapsulation of RNA within model protocells promotes folding, promotes the binding of substrates, promotes catalysis, and protects against denaturation. A new study argues for an active role of lipid vesicles in the origins of life. Encapsulation of RNA within model protocells promotes folding, pro...
