Alkanes increase the stability of early life membrane models under extreme pressure and temperature conditions

Fatty acid membranes are implicated in several hypotheses about the origins of life, but whether their stability towards extremes of temperature, pressure, and ionic strength is sufficient to enable primitive biochemistry remains unclear. Here branched and linear alkanes are shown to stabilise a com...
