中文摘要：

近年来在生命起源研究方面，蛋白质起源研究来有很大进展，因为各种“组学（-omics）”的快速发展提供了关于蛋白质结构与功能的大量信息，据此可以初步推断原始蛋白的结构与功能特征．文章就该领域的最新研究进展进行了综述．

英文摘要：

In the study of origin of life, the research on the origin of proteins progressed relatively slowly. However, this situation is changed in recent years. The rapid progresses in ＂--omics＂ provided a great deal of information on structures and functions of proteins, which greatly helped to trace the characters of ancient proteins. This article is attempt to present some most recent findings in this area.
