Prebiotic chemistry is a field which attempts to recreate the pathways of chemical synthesis which led to the formation of biological molecules, and ultimately the origin of life. In experiments of prebiotic chemistry (using conditions that existed on Earth before the appearance of primitive life), researchers were able to synthesize amino acids and short peptides, but never nucleic acids and mononucleotides. The catalytic activity of several short peptides was recently described in literature; some of these peptides are short enough to be considered prebiotically plausible. One of these is the dipeptide SerHis (Li et al. 2000), which has broad hydrolytic activity and is capable of hydrolyzing proteins, nucleic acids and esters. By virtue o...
