Abstract: Compartmentalization is a fundamental feature of contemporary biological cells, allowing segregation of the internal content to allow a multitude of incompatible biochemical and biological processes to occur simultaneously. The early formation of compartments within the protocell, the hypothetical prebiotic cell-like precursor, could have created an evolutionary advantage, possibly accelerating the emergence of the first cell.
