Template-directed RNA polymerization and enhanced ribozyme catalysis inside membraneless compartments formed by coacervates
Membraneless compartments have been theorized to be prebiotic micro-compartments as they spontaneously encapsulate RNA and proteins. Here, the authors report membraneless compartments can enhance RNA chemistries, affecting template directed RNA polymerization and stimulating nucleic acid enzymes.
