摘要
This report summarizes the content of the author's lecture given at the 9th ISSOL Conference on the 'Origin of Life' in Oaxaca on 2 July 2002. The report consists of introductory remarks followed by a reproduction of the authentic sequence of slides shown during the lecture. Each slide figure is accompanied with a short commentary on the figure's content. The lecture dealt with the structure and the properties of TNA (alpha-threofuranosyl nucleic acid) and included results of some more recent chemical investigations that had been inspired by the simplicity of TNA's molecular architecture.
