"Crystal power: Nature News entertained an idea that RNA found ways to work in ice crystals.
Researchers at Cambridge created an RNA enzyme that worked at freezing temperatures. ” Ice could have aided the emergence of self-replication in the prebiotic chemical world,” they said. New Scientist rejoiced at the prospect: “If you thought life evolved in bubbling hot springs, think again.” But Jack Szostak threw a snowball: the created molecule cannot replicate itself. “I’m afraid we still have a long way to go to get a self-replicating ribozyme.”" CR
