I’m excited to share our new paper published in @PNASNews ! 🎉
We explored how prebiotic peptides could have assembled and contributed to the chemical selection of today’s α-amino acid backbone in modern proteins. You can read the full publication here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Last week I attended the #physicstolife #Ideaslab in Prague. I was so fortunate to meet so many inspiring scientists, share ideas, and think big! Thank you Stephen Freeland, @templeton_fdn, @knowinnovation, @KlaraH_lab and the other mentors for making this happen!

So excited about yesterday's 35th ILASOL (Israel Society for Astrobiology and the Study of the Origin of Life) Meeting, this time with me as the organizer! We were able to bring @loren_williams1 to Israel as a Keynote speaker and learn about co-evolution of RNA and proteins!

A first step towards uniting “genetics-first” and “metabolism-first” theories for life’s origins. The biosynthetic reactions that convert aspartate into orotate, the precursor to pyrimidine nucleobases, occur nonenzymatically in the presence of metals. #prebiotic #OoL
