Prebiotic Phosphorylation and Concomitant Oligomerization of Deoxynucleosides to form DNA
Research Article PDF ShareShare Abstract Recent demonstrations of RNA–DNA chimeras (RDNA) enabling RNA and DNA replication, coupled with prebiotic co‐synthesis of deoxyribo‐ and ribo‐nucleotides, have resurrected the hypothesis of co‐emergence of RNA and DNA. As further support, we show that diamidophosphate (DAP) with 2‐aminoimidazole (amido)phosphorylates and oligomerizes deoxynucleosides to form DNA—under conditions similar to those of ribonucleosides.

Prebiotic phosphorylation of 2-thiouridine provides either nucleotides or DNA building blocks via photoreduction
Abstract Breakthroughs in the study of the origin of life have demonstrated how some of the building blocks essential to biology could have been formed under various primordial scenarios, and could therefore have contributed to the chemical evolution of life. Missing building blocks are then sometimes inferred to be products of primitive biosynthesis, which can stretch the limits of plausibility.
