Hypercycle organization

This dilemma could be overcome by the hypercycle model hypercycles are in fact not theoretical concepts, but can be observed (in a simple form) in today s organisms, where an RNA virus transfers the information for an enzyme in the host cell, which is able to carry out the preferred synthesis of new virus RNA. This RNA synthesis is supported by host factors, and an RNA minus-strand is formed. The following RNA replication affords a plus-strand. The process corresponds to a double feedback loop and involves the enzyme coded by the RNA matrix and the information present in the matrix in the form of a nucleotide sequence. Both factors contribute to the replication of the matrix, so that there is second-order autocatalysis (Eigen et al., 1982).
