RESUMO

The oligomerization of activated d- and l- and racemic guanosine-5′-phosphoro-2-methylimidazole on short templates containing d- and l-deoxycytidylate has been studied. Results obtained with d-oligo(dC)s as templates are similar to those previously reported for experiments with a poly(C) template. When one l-dC or two consecutive l-dCs are introduced into a d-template, regiospecific synthesis of 3′-5′ oligo(G)s proceeds to the end of the template, but three consecutive l-dCs block synthesis. Alternating d-,l-oligomers do not facilitate oligomerization of the d-, l-, and racemic 2-guanosine-5′-phosphoro-2-methylimidazole. We suggest that once a “predominately d-metabolism” existed, occasional l-residues in a template would not have led to the termination of self-replication.
