Spontaneous Mirror Symmetry Breaking in the Limited Enantioselective Autocatalysis Model: Abyssal Hydrothermal Vents as Scenario for the Emergence of Chirality in Prebiotic Chemistry
Josep M. Ribó, Joaquim Crusats, Zoubir El-Hachemi +3
The emergence of chirality in enantioselective autocatalysis for compounds unable to transform according to the Frank-like reaction network is discussed with respect to the controv…
Models for Mirror Symmetry Breaking via β-Sheet-Controlled Copolymerization: (i) Mass Balance and (ii) Probabilistic Treatment
Celia Blanco, David Hochberg
Experimental mechanisms that yield the growth of homochiral copolymers over their heterochiral counterparts have been advocated by Lahav and co-workers. These chiral amplification…
Mirror symmetry breaking with limited enantioselective autocatalysis and temperature gradients: a stability survey
Celia Blanco, Josep M. Ribó, Joaquim Crusats +3
We analyze limited enantioselective (LES) autocatalysis in a temperature gradient and with internal flow/recycling of hot and cold material. Microreversibility forbids broken mirro…
Chiral and chemical oscillations in a simple dimerization model
Michael Stich, Celia Blanco, David Hochberg
We consider the APED model (activation-polymerization-epimerization-depolymerization) for describing the emergence of chiral solutions within a non-catalytic framework for chiral p…
Induced mirror symmetry breaking via template-controlled copolymerization: theoretical insights
Celia Blanco, David Hochberg
A chemical equilibrium model of template-controlled copolymerization is presented for describing the outcome of the experimental induced desymmetrization scenarios recently propose…
Multistate transitions and quantum oscillations of optical activity
Celia Blanco, David Hochberg
We consider the effects of multistate transitions on the tunneling racemization of chiral molecules. This requires going beyond simple two-state models of enantiomers and to includ…
