Orig Life Evol Biosph . 2001 Oct; 31(4-5):381-402. PMID: 11599177
The Langmuir adsorption isotherms of the phosphoroimidazolides of adenosine (ImpA) and uridine (ImpU), dA5' ppdA and N6,N6-dimethyladenine binding on montmorillonite are consistent with their forming a monolayer on the clay...

Orig Life Evol Biosph . 2001 Sep; 27(5-6):513-23. PMID: 11536840
The oligomerization of adenosine 5'-phosphoro-4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium (4-(CH3)2-NpypA) and diadenosine 5',5'-pyrophosphate (A5'ppA) (9:1) on Na(+)-montmorillonite was studied. The oligomers were isolated and analyzed by selective enzymatic hydrolyses and the oligomeric composition and...

Orig Life Evol Biosph . 1998 Sep; 28(4-6):485-99. PMID: 9742726
Certain montmorillonites catalyze the self condensation of the 5'-phosphorimidazolide of nucleosides in pH 8 aqueous electrolyte solutions at ambient temperatures leading to formation of RNA oligomers. In order to establish...
