Abstract
TheRNAworldhypothesisstatesthattheearlyevolutionoflifewentthroughastageinwhichRNAservedbothasgenome
and as catalyst. The central catalyst in an RNA world organism would have been a ribozyme that catalyzed RNA

efficientenoughforself-replication. Thefactor thatlimitsits polymerizationefficiencyis itsweak sequence-independent

at ten different sites on the ribozyme, using conjugates of arginine with short DNA or RNA oligonucleotides. However,
polymerizationefficiencywasnotincreasedinanyofthetenpositions.Infiveofthetenpositionstheargininereducedor
modulated polymerization efficiency, which gives insight into the substrate-binding site on the ribozyme. These results
suggestthattheexistingpolymeraseribozymeisnotwellsuitedtousinganargininecofactor.
