Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Encapsulation</bold>: The emergence of primitive cells remains an enigma of the origin of life. By modeling this key process as the encapsulation of a complex multimolecular mixture inside liposomes, a remarkable self‐organization process has been revealed that brings about solute‐rich compartments in which protein synthesis can take place.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t3kjw2m" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
