Previously, we have demonstrated that certain ferric salts common in Archean waters, such as iron trichloride and ferric ammonium citrate, can protect liposomes from destruction by short-wavelength UVC light. In this study, we investigate the propagation of 254 nm UV radiation through aqueous FeCl3 solutions and its interactions with liposomes. We then consider these findings in the context of early Earth UV environment, discuss their implications for our hypothesis of the Darwinian evolution of liposomes, and integrate them with our previous experimental results.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
