Catalytic reaction network, recursive cell

ON RECURSIVE PRODUCTION AND EVOLVABILITY OF CELLS CATALYTIC REACTION NETWORK APPROACH... 

Quite recently, Furusawa, Kaneko, and co-workers [26,41] have studied several models of minimal cell consisting of catalytic reaction networks, without assuming the replication process itself. In other words, the molecules are successively synthesized from nutrition chemicals transported from the membrane, where the level 1 model of Section III.B is adopted. They have found a universal statistical law of chemicals for a cell that grows recursively. 

We have studied a problem of recursive production and evolution of a cell, by adopting a simple protocell system. This protocell consists of catalytic reaction network with replicating molecules. The basic concepts we have proposed through several simulations are as follows ...
