[[Sidney Fox]] developed a pioneering work in the thermal synthesis of polypeptides. Fox heated dry mixtures of 16 to 18 amino acids at 160-180º in a nitrogen atmosphere for a time period of several hours.<ref name=pandas>{{cite book|title=Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins|author=Davis, Percival; [[Dean H.

Fox claimed that his proteinoid microspheres constitute protocells which were a vital link between the primordial chemical environment and true living cells.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.icr.org/article/life-fox-thermal-model-origin-life/|title= Origin of Life: The Fox Thermal Model of the Origin of Life|author=Gish, Duane|authorlink=Duane Gish|publisher=Institute for Creation Research|year=1976|journal=[[Acts|Acts & Facts]]|volume=5|issue=3|issn=0196-8068 }}</ref>

==Comparison between true proteins and proteinoids==
Spontaneous combinations of biomonomers may lead to proteinlike substances called proteinoids.<ref name=smith>{{cite book|author=Wilder-Smith, A. E.|title=The Creation of Life: A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution|year=1970|isbn=0-87788-144-8|location=Wheaton, Illinois|publisher=Harold Shaw Publishers|page=55}}</ref> Proteinoids are not fully functioning proteins. The following table illustrates some of the major differences:

{| class="wikitable"
!style="background:#AADFEA;"|Characteristic
!style="background:#F0E68C;"|Proteinoid
!style="background:#AAEADF;"|True protein
|-
|Type of chain
|Unnatural chains, “kinked” chains, even branched chains instead of being linear are produced<ref name=how /><ref name=shapiro>{{cite book|author=Shapiro, Robert|title=Origins: A Skeptic's Guide to the Creation of Life on Earth|publisher=Bantam Books|location=Toronto|year=1987|page=193-194|isbn=0-553-34355-6}}</ref> Secondary peptide linkages through the non-alpha carboxyl groups of aspartic and glutamic acids can be expected.<ref name=Aw>{{cite book|author=Aw, S. E|title=Chemical Evolution|publisher=Master Books|location=San Diego, California|year=1982|page=91|isbn=0-89051-082-2}}</ref>
|Linear
|-
|Peptide bonds
|β, γ and ε peptide bonds largely predominate over α-peptide bonds<ref name=thaxton />
|α-peptide bonds
|-
|Form of amino acids
|Roughly the same number of D-amino acids (right-handed) and L-amino acids (left-handed).<ref name=thaxton /><ref name=how /> Even if the experiment begins will all L-amino acids, some are converted to the right-handed form<ref name=shapiro /> and the L-amino acids undergo racemic<ref name=Aw />
|Only L-amino acids
|-
|Coding sequences
|Amino acids bond together randomly.
|Amino acids bond together based on the code contained in DNA.
|-
|Pigments
|Some amino acids are converted to colored substances, pigments, which are incorporated into the chains.<ref name=shapiro />
|Amino acids remain as is without converting to pigments
|-
|Antigenicity tests
|Show no antigenicity with guinea pig, rabbit or uterine strip tests<ref name=smith />
|Proteins (generally with a molecular weight of at least 8,000 Da) show antigenicity in tests
