In the citing paper
“These features include spontaneous accretion of diverse and potentially interacting molecules from dilute solutions, and the facilitation of mutual interactions due to proximity effects and reduced dimensionality, as copiously indicated [29,67,115,154–156].”

In the citing paper
“The potential of this selection mechanism is especially high in the case of peptides which are being formed from racemic amino acids under hydrothermal conditions [24]. The selectivity for hydrophobic peptides has already gained early recognition [22]. However, the selection effect may even be stronger for those peptides which, with a suitable composition and sequence of amino acids, are amphiph”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
