New publication out on the evolution of protein-RNA interactions. Put together with Klára Hlouchová (@sciencecharles.bsky.social) during a lovely Czech spring. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A scheme of chemico-biological evolution of protein-RNA interactions. It started about 4.5 billion years ago with prebiotic monomers, went through peptides, oligonucleotides, and simple complexes, reaching proteins and RNA at about 4-3.7 billion years ago.
