Coacervates (large colloidal particles that precipitate out in aqueous medium) are the first pre-cells which gradually transformed into living cells, according to theory of chemical evolution.Coacervates form an aqueous phase that helps in the formation of macromolecules, such as some synthetic polymers, some proteins, and nucleic acids. It is a sort of phase which also follows thermodynamic equilibrium. These structures came into notice because they don't need a membrane and also form spontaneously. |
