Abstract: The interaction between N-phosphoryl amino acids and nucleosides in aqueous medium was studied and the products were analyzed on the basis of HPLC and LC-MS-MS techniques. The results demonstrated that peptides and oligonucleotides were simultaneously formed. Different selectivities were observed between the reaction of various kinds of N-phosphoryl amino acids and different nucleosides. The results gave some clue for the chemical characteristics of the origin of primordial genetic code.

Key words: N-Phosphoryl amino acids, Nucleotide, Peptide, Origin of life, Primordial genetic code
