(N/A) Proteinoids are thermal polymers of amino acids. They are synthesized by heating a mixture of dry amino acids at temperatures ranging from $160^{\circ}C$ to $210^{\circ}C$ for several hours. These structures were proposed by Sidney Fox as potential precursors to the first living cells (protobionts) in the prebiotic environment.
