Minimal replicator theory

More information on the square root law and on kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of the minimal replicator theory can be found in the literature (von Kiedrowski, 1999 and 1993). The square root law has its origin in the product inhibition involved in the mechanism of self-replication. The more C units are formed, the greater is the tendency of the molecules of C to dimerize to give C2 this species, however, cannot function as a catalyst. [Pg.156]

But wouldn t we expect animals to breed faster if faced with a threat to their survival These findings may be no more than an ecological equivalent of the faster rate of bacterial replication in response to irradiation, or our own urge to find a sexual partner in the last few minutes after a nuclear warning. Certainly the evidence is supportive of the disposable soma theory, but it is far from proof. Can the relationship be emulated in the laboratory, with minimal exposure to predators or other life-shorten-ing factors ... [Pg.231]

The same group also demonstrated that an enzymatic RNA replication can occur within self-replicating liposomes, however, with no dependency between the content and the container during the replication process. As for the previous examples, liposomes were loaded with all the necessary reagents and their self-reproduction occurred using oleic anhydride at 40 °C. This example represents an autopoietic process as the reproduction of the boundary is due to the reaction that takes place within the boundary and is catalytically induced by the boundary itself. This work is presented as the first example in which the reproduction of the membrane and the replication of the internalized RNA molecules proceed simultaneously and thus, the first bridge established between the two more accepted views on the theory of minimal life the RNA world and the cellular autopoietic view. It should be mentioned that in a former... [Pg.3146]
