Circadian rhythmicity by autocatalysis. [PDF]
The temperature compensated in vitro oscillation of cyanobacterial KaiC phosphorylation, the first example of a thermodynamically closed system showing circadian rhythmicity, only involves the three Kai proteins (KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC) and ATP.

AbstractSelf‐replication is a fundamental concept. The idea of an entity that can repeatedly create more of itself has captured the imagination of many thinkers from von Neumann to Vonnegut. Beyond the sciences and science fiction, autocatalysis has found currency in economics and language theory, and has raised ethical fears memorably summed up by the

Large Solvent‐Dependent Rate Enhancement of Autocatalytic Hydrolysis of Alkyl and Aryl Thiosulfates [PDF]
The 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

The Origin of Anion−π Autocatalysis
The autocatalysis of epoxide-opening ether cyclizations on the aromatic surface of anion-π catalysts stands out as a leading example of emergent properties expected from the integration of unorthodox interactions into catalysis. A working hypothesis was proposed early on, but the mechanism of anion-π autocatalysis has never been elucidated.

Crystallization-driven template autocatalysis induces mirror symmetry breaking and amplification [PDF]
A 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]
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
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.

Martensite Transformation Intergrain and Intragrain Autocatalysis in Fe-Ni alloys [PDF]
This work presents a consolidated view of the autocatalysis, thermal and entropic effects in martensitic transformation of polycrystalline Fe-31wt%Ni-0.02wt%C, which has been a standard material for the investigation of fundamental aspects of the ...
