Condensation reactions likely played major roles in the synthesis of the first biotic molecules including early [[peptide]]s and [[nucleic acid]]s. In fact, condensation reactions would be required at multiple steps in [[RNA]] oligomerization: the condensation of [[nucleobase]]s and [[sugar]]s, [[nucleoside]] [[phosphorylation]], and [[nucleotide]] polymerization.<ref name=":02">{{Cite book |last=Fiore |first=Michele |title=Prebiotic Chemistry and Life's Origin |publisher=Royal Society of Chemistry |year=2022 |isbn=9781839164804 |location=United Kingdom |pages=124–144}}</ref>
