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…
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…
Homochiral oligopeptides by chiral amplification: Interpretation of experimental data with a copolymerization model
Celia Blanco, David Hochberg
We present a differential rate equation model of chiral polymerization based on a simple copolymerization scheme in which the enantiomers are added to, or removed from, the homochi…
Chiral polymerization: symmetry breaking and entropy production in closed systems
Celia Blanco, David Hochberg
We solve numerically a kinetic model of chiral polymerization in systems closed to matter and energy flow, paying special emphasis to its ability to amplify the small initial enant…
