Constraints on the Properties of Primordial Protocells

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Selen Etingü .

Primitive cell membranes must have been sufficiently robust to survive environmental fluctuations, but also sufficiently permeable to allow for essential nutrients such as nucleotides to reach the protocell interior. In addition, the primordial genetic material must have been able to replicate with sufficient speed and accuracy to allow for the transmission of useful genetic information from generation to generation. Jack Szostak will describe recent progress in the development of a laboratory model of a protocell capable of growth and division, and replication of the genetic material in the absence of any evolved machinery.
