Abstract
At the Georgia Institute of Technology, there is an organization known as The Center for Ribosomal Origins and Evolution (RiboEvo), headed by Dr. Loren Williams, in which graduate students, post-doctual fellows and research scientists work to understand the biochemistry of early Earth. One focus of the RiboEvo group is the origin of the ribosome: a proposed ancestral version of the ribosome capable of catalyzing peptide bond formation more than 3.5 billion years ago.
