Formation of RNA oligonucleotides over the mineral surface preliminary irradiated with UV light
An opportunity of the abiogenic formation of oligonucleotides over the surface of montmorillonite particles, preliminarily irradiated with UV light, was found upon the adsorption of mononucleotides on this surface. A probable mechanism of such a synthesis is suggested.
