A New Clue to How Life Originated A long-standing mystery about early cells has a solution— and it’s a rather magical one. Ed Young, The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/08/interlocking-puzzle-allowed-life-emerge/595945/ Did Amino Acids Stabilize Prebiotic Membranes? A possible solution to a long-standing question about early cells Astrobiology at NASA https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/solving-a-long-standing-origin-of-life-puzzle/ First cells may have emerged because building blocks of proteins stabilized mem
