Conditions for Darwinian evolution in compartmentalized autocatalytic reaction networks
Yoshiya J. Matsubara, Sandeep Ameta, Shashi Thutupalli +2
The first forms of life likely consisted of protocells endowed with metabolism, growth, and division. Such systems may have evolved due to variation and heredity in their chemical…
Error Catastrophe Can Be Avoided by Proofreading Innate to Template-Directed Polymerization
Yoshiya J. Matsubara, Nobuto Takeuchi, Kunihiko Kaneko
An important issue for the origins of life is ensuring the accurate maintenance of information in replicating polymers in the face of inevitable errors. Here, we investigated how t…
Kinetic Selection of Template Polymer with Complex Sequences
Yoshiya J. Matsubara, Kunihiko Kaneko
Emergence and maintenance of polymers with complex sequences is a major question in the study of origins of life. To answer this, we studied a model polymerization reaction, where…
