摘要: This review is devoted to an analysis of the consequences Eschenmoser view that origin life requires a chemical environment held far from equilibrium by kinetic barriers. The corresponding conditions, in which replicating entities comply with specific form stability, are considered terms temperature and potential sources energy capable feeding system. need for irreversibility reproduction cycles emphasized as condition effective selection. High turnover rates cyclic processes would facilitate development reproducing themselves. A preference given here involving selective catalytic pathways, rather than increase likely preferentially noncatalytic degradation pathways. Accordingly, emphasis placed on direct or induced intramolecular Lastly, barriers help reveal nature carriers.
