Emergence of homochirality via template-directed ligation in an RNA reactor
Gabin Laurent, Tobias Göppel, David Lacoste +1
RNA in extant biological systems is homochiral; it consists exclusively of D-ribonucleotides rather than L-ribonucleotides. How the homochirality of RNA emerged is not known. Here,…
A robust transition to homochirality in complex chemical reaction networks
Gabin Laurent, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
Homochirality, i.e. the dominance across all living matter of one enantiomer over the other among chiral molecules, is thought to be a key step in the emergence of life. Building o…
Emergence of homochirality in large molecular systems
Gabin Laurent, David Lacoste, Pierre Gaspard
The selection of a single molecular handedness, or homochirality across all living matter, is a mystery in the origin of life. Frank's seminal model showed in the fifties how chira…
