The generality of transient compartmentalization and its associated error thresholds
Alex Blokhuis, Philippe Nghe, Luca Peliti +1
Can prelife proceed without cell division? A recently proposed mechanism suggests that transient compartmentalization could have preceded cell division in prebiotic scenarios. Here…
Reaction kinetics in open reactors and serial transfers between closed reactors
Alex Blokhuis, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
Kinetic theory and thermodynamics of reaction networks are extended to the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of continuous-flow stirred tank reactors (CSTR) and serial transfers. On the…
Selection dynamics in transient compartmentalization
Alex Blokhuis, David Lacoste, Philippe Nghe +1
Transient compartments have been recently shown to be able to maintain functional replicators in the context of prebiotic studies. Motivated by this experiment, we show that a broa…
Length and sequence relaxation of copolymers under recombination reactions
Alex Blokhuis, David Lacoste
We describe the kinetics and thermodynamics of copolymers undergoing recombination reactions, which are important for prebiotic chemistry. We use two approaches: the first one, bas…
