Prebiotic membrane structures mimic the morphology of purported early traces of life on Earth

Résumé

Elucidating the most probable compositions of the first cell membranes prior to the origin of life, within a laboratory setting, requires experiments with organic molecules and chemical conditions representative of those present on the early Earth. As such, the membrane forming molecules used in these experiments are described as 'prebiotically plausible', i.e., they could have formed through abiotic reactions and be available for membrane formation prior to the emergence of biology.
