From: Is the transition from chemistry to biology a mystery?

Figure 3

Translation device: a by-product of error filter (shown in figure 2). (+)- hairpin is linked to A1 and R1 (blue), (-)-hairpin is linked to A2 and R2 (read). The sequence of hairpins in the aggregate is determined by the sequence of monomers in the assembler. Stage where the sequence of monomers in the (+)-assembler is translated into enzyme E1 (specific sequence of A-monomers). The sequence of monomers in the (-)-assembler is translated into E0 (non-sense sequence). The figure illustrates theoretical modeling, chemical reality will be more sophisticated.
