A Minimalistic Hydrolase Based on Co-Assembled Cyclic Dipeptides

01 October 2019, Version 1
Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

This paper describes minimalistic cyclic dipeptides acting as esterase-mimicks in a self-assembled hydrogel state. It demonstrates that cyclic dipeptides could have acted as enzyme-precursors on a primordial earth and hence be important for abiogenesis.
