Étude de l’activité prébiotique potentielle de l’acide borique
Boric acid has always been neglected in prebiotic chemistry, because it is not a major component of biological macromolecules. We argue here for a potential catalytic role of boric acid in peptides and nucleic acid synthesis. Today boron is an important component of seawater (0.4 mM). Its concentration at prebiotic times was probably higher. In water, boron mainly appears in the form of boric acid or its derivatives (esters and anhydrides).
