The hierarchical organization of autocatalytic reaction networks and its relevance to the origin of life. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Prior work on abiogenesis, the emergence of life from non-life, suggests that it requires chemical reaction networks that contain self-amplifying motifs, namely, autocatalytic cores.

Mathematical Analysis of a Prototypical Autocatalytic Reaction Network [PDF]
Life, 2019 Network autocatalysis, which is autocatalysis whereby a catalyst is not directly produced in a catalytic cycle, is likely to be more common in chemistry than direct autocatalysis is.

Protocell Dynamics: Modelling Growth and Division of Lipid Vesicles Driven by an Autocatalytic Reaction [PDF]
LifeWe study a computational model of a protocell, in which an autocatalytic reaction sustains itself inside a lipid vesicle. The autocatalytic reaction drives volume growth via osmosis. Membrane area grows due to addition of lipids from the environment. The

Mechanistic analysis and kinetic profiling of Soai’s asymmetric autocatalysis for pyridyl and pyrimidyl substrates [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNonlinear effects in chemical reactions, coupled with amplifying catalysis, can lead to remarkable phenomena like spontaneous symmetry breaking, central to the origin of biological homochirality. Soai’s asymmetric autocatalysis is a prototypical reaction

Parameters Influencing the Correct Thermal Safety Evaluations of Autocatalytic Reactions
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2013 The paper presents the results of simulations of the influence of the reaction progress of the material at the moment of the beginning of the thermal experiment (called as ??storage) on the thermal behavior in mg- (as in DSC), kg- (SADT or cookoff), and ...

Exploration of the Significance of Autocatalytic Chemical Reaction and Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux on the Dynamics of a Micropolar Fluid [PDF]
Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2020 During the homogeneous-heterogeneous autocatalytic chemical reaction in the dynamics of micropolar fluid, relaxation of heat transfer is inevitable; hence Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is investigated in this report.

Spatial structure supports diversity in prebiotic autocatalytic chemical ecosystems [PDF]
npj ComplexityAutocatalysis is thought to have played an important role in the earliest stages of the origin of life. An autocatalytic cycle (AC) is a set of reactions that results in stoichiometric increase in its constituent chemicals. When the reactions of multiple
