I have had the pop-science idea that the reason the proteins, and other bits and pieces, found their mates, and found them so quickly, was that at their scales, just randomly moving around meant that they were destined to come near one another in a very short period of time. If they had some help from electrical forces which tended to pull them together when they were in the vicinity of each other, then the two factors guaranteed that adenine would quickly unite with thymine, guanine with cytosine, etc., etc. So, even if they were relatively far apart to start with, should this make much difference in their being able to get together?
