Required Levels of Catalysis for Emergence of Autocatalytic Sets in Models of Chemical Reaction Systems

摘要: The formation of a self-sustaining autocatalytic chemical network is necessary but not sufficient condition for the origin life. question whether such could form “by chance” within sufficiently complex suite molecules and reactions one that we have investigated simple reaction model based on polymer ligation cleavage. In this paper, extend work in several further directions. particular, investigate more detail levels catalysis required to form. We study size networks which might expect find an subset, theoretical computational analyses models requires template matching.
