[OUP] Before cells there were simple molecular replicators. What were they made of? A popular theory (RNA World) suggests that the initial replicators were RNA. Peptides have also been suggested as candidates. Here we demonstrate that, just like in todays cells, the initial replicator could have had a nucleic acid andi> a peptide component
