Ordered-matrix synthesis, oriented

And the grand concept appeared to be portentous. Quite soon Schramm et al. [2b] aroused enthusiasm with the nonenzymatic synthesis of nucleosides and nucleic acids, and the origin of self-replicating systems the polycondensation of uridylic acid onto the orientating (A) -matrix - and the first attempt at an artificial matrix reaction [2]. Was this the breakthrough that would lead chemistry not only into the wonderland of biology, but also rapidly to ordered and instructed macromolecular organizations in its own dominion [2c-f] ...
