Combinatorics of polymer models of early metabolism
Oliver Weller-Davies, Mike Steel, Jotun Hein
Polymer models are a widely used tool to study the prebiotic formation of metabolism at the origins of life. Counts of the number of reactions in these models are often crucial in…

Combinatorial results for network-based models of metabolic origins
Oliver Weller-Davies, Mike Steel, Jotun Hein
A key step in the origin of life is the emergence of a primitive metabolism. This requires the formation of a subset of chemical reactions that is both self-sustaining and collecti…
