The paper investigates codon:anticodon binding strengths and suggests that family box codons may have been used in early peptide synthesis due to tighter binding and simultaneous codon recognition.

This paper demonstrates enzyme-free, sequence-dependent aminoacylation of RNA mimics, showing that terminal trinucleotides control aminoacylation selectivity.

This study demonstrates nonenzymatic loop-closing ligation can assemble functional RNA hairpins without templates, enabling the formation of complex RNA structures.

This study determines the structure of favipiravir-RTP bound to SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, revealing its weak incorporation mechanism and low replication suppression.
