Conceptual link between prebiotic chemistry and modern biology. Ester–amide exchange reactions occurring in a small aqueous pond enable peptide formation, paralleled by an analogous ester–amide exchange reaction in the ribosome that elongates the peptide chain during protein synthesis – all connected by the chemical evolution of a protoribosome complex (reprinted from BioCosmos with Permission).
