I beleive first off in The Chemosynthetic Evolution, of Nucleoside Deoxyribosyltransferase (NDRT), and it's
subsequent separation into the Nucleic Acids or both RiboNucleic Acid (RNA), and DeoxyriboNucleic Acid(DNA), via Hydrothermal Chemosynthesis, or Charles Robert Darwins Warm Pond, before life's arrival on earth, what do you think?

I don't really get the details you've left for us. NDRT is now a protein, but earlier on it was most likely a ribozyme. As such it evolved after the formation of RNA. Furthremore, I suspect that the earliest enzymatic functions were ribonucleases not synthetases (both of which I would posit to be ribozymes)
Goto the NCBI website and search PubMed for your question. There's alot of investigation into pre-cellular life I just don't have my finger on any of it, but I've been to at least three seminars that have address the issue.

MichaelHobbsPhD has NAILED it - go to the National Center for Technology ("NCBI") website and start looking. Also try using the "Entrez" life sciences search engine, which uses PubMed, MedLine, and all kinds of other publications in its search engine. Also, just for fun - look up "CGK733" - just trust me - biological immortality, step one! You should also try the EMBO - European Molecular Biology Organization, but just typing in your subject into a search window should get you at least SOME results! And... GOOD MORNING! :)

It is possibly an area in which no research has been done.
