Prebiotic Chemistry - Biochemistry - Emergence of Life (4.4-2 Ga) [Elektronische Daten] [Robert Pascal, Laurent Boiteau, Patrick Forterre, Muriel Gargaud, Antonio Lazcano, Purificación Lopez-Garcia, Marie-Christine Maurel, David Moreira, Juli Pereto, Daniel Prieur, Jacques Reisse] This chapter is devoted to a discussion about the difficulties and even the impossibility to date the events that occurred during the transition from non-living matter to the first living cells. Nevertheless, the attempts to devise plausible scenarios accounting for the emergence of the main molecular devices and processes found in biology are presented including the role of nucleotides at early stages (RNA world). On the other hand, hypotheses on the development of early metabolisms, compartments and genetic encoding are also discussed in relation with their role in extant living organisms. The nature of the Last Common Ancestor is also presented as well as hypotheses on the evolution of viruses. The following sections constitute a collection of independent articles providing a general overview of these aspects.
