The covering membrane can be of the lipid bilayer if the mixture contains lipids and corresponding to cell membrane. Sydney Fox $(1950)$ heated a dry mixture of amino acids to $130^{\circ}-180^{\circ} C$. It formed proteins or polypeptides. The latter were cooled in water. It produced protenoid microspheres of $1-2 \mu m$ diameter.
