Postal 70-543, 04510-m~xtco, D.F., m~xico. fl mathematical model is proposed intending to represent a very early interaction among small oligopeptides and oligoribonucleotides. Such interaction might be envisaged as the first steps towards the formation of a protein plus nucleic acid living system, either if they (one or both oligomers} arised as a product of another kind of {chemical} precursor or these oligomers interacted ab initio.
