title: On the origin of protein biosynthesis.
abstract: There is a very close steric relationship between the codon-anticodon site which accounts for the genetic code dictionary and a polynucleotide replicase site. Protein biosynthesis must therefore have arisen out of a primaeval polynucleotide replicase system.
