SUMMARY:Constraints on the Properties of Primordial Protocells  - JACK SZO
 STAK\, University of Chicago (Department of Chemistry)​
DTSTART:20250318T173000Z

UID:TALK224113@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Selen Etingü
DESCRIPTION:Primitive cell membranes must have been sufficiently robust to
  survive environmental fluctuations\, but also sufficiently permeable to a
 llow for essential nutrients such as nucleotides to reach the protocell in
 terior. In addition\, the primordial genetic material must have been able 
 to replicate with sufficient speed and accuracy to allow for the transmiss
 ion of useful genetic information from generation to generation. Jack Szos
 tak will describe recent progress in the development of a laboratory model
  of a protocell capable of growth and division\, and replication of the ge
 netic material in the absence of any evolved machinery.\n\n
