Large Solvent‐Dependent Rate Enhancement of Autocatalytic Hydrolysis of Alkyl and Aryl Thiosulfates [PDF]
ChemistryOpenThe hydrolysis of alkyl and aryl thiosulfates (Bunte salts), to produce the corresponding thiol and bisulfate ion, is autocatalytic in the absence of added acid and proceeds at greatly accelerated rates in organic solvents at room temperature relative to

Crystallization-driven template autocatalysis induces mirror symmetry breaking and amplification [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsA plausible hypothesis for the origin of biological homochirality invokes chiral symmetry breaking, transfer, and amplification driven by autocatalysis. Here we experimentally demonstrate that crystallization-driven template autocatalysis (CDTA) induces ...

Driving forces in the origins of life [PDF]
Open Biology, 2021 What were the physico-chemical forces that drove the origins of life? We discuss four major prebiotic ‘discoveries’: persistent sampling of chemical reaction space; sequence-encodable foldable catalysts; assembly of functional pathways; and encapsulation

Martensite’s Logistic Paradigm
Materials Research, 2021 This work introduces a deterministic approach to the martensite transformation curve. Martensite is a nucleation-controlled transformation that has two characteristics: autocatalysis and auto-accommodation.

Autocatalysis, Entropic Aspects and the Martensite Transformation Curve in Iron-Base Alloys [PDF]
Materials Research, 2017 This study advances a methodology that consolidates the description of time-dependent (isothermal) as well as time-independent (athermal) martensitic transformation curves.

Life, 2023 Natural chiral amino acids typically adopt an L structural configuration. While a preference for specific molecular chiralities is observed throughout biology and cellular chemistry, the origins of this preference are unclear.
