Understanding the chemical principles underpinning the fundamental features of life beyond biochemistry within the origins of life context
Investigating prebiotic chemistry and the fundamental features of life like metabolism, information, self-reproduction, natural selection and computation, is significant within the origins of life research. In this context, one of the key elements constitutes the synthesis of chemistry-based natural-life-mimicking artificial or synthetic living systems, starting from a homogeneous aqueous blend of a few strictly non-biochemical compounds, using a technique called polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). In one of the studies, gradient sequence-controlled polymers were generated through PET-RAFT-PISA
