Harvesting chemical power from cyclic environments

Pranay Jaiswal, Ivar S. Haugerud, Hidde D. Vuijk +1

Life relies on a sophisticated metabolic molecular machinery that turns over high-energy molecules to evolve complex macromolecules and assemblies. At the molecular origin of life,…

Theory for sequence selection via phase separation and oligomerization

Ivar S. Haugerud, Giacomo Bartolucci, Dieter Braun +1

Non-equilibrium selection pressures were proposed for the formation of oligonucleotides with rich functionalities encoded in their sequences, such as catalysis. Since phase separat…

Non-equilibrium wet-dry cycling acts as a catalyst for chemical reactions

Ivar Svalheim Haugerud, Pranay Jaiswal, Christoph A. Weber

Recent experimental studies suggest that wet-dry cycles and coexisting phases can each strongly alter chemical processes. The mechanisms of why and to which degree chemical process…
