Nonequilibrium properties of autocatalytic networks
Armand Despons
Autocatalysis, the ability of a chemical system to make more of itself, is a crucial feature in metabolism and is speculated to have played a decisive role in the origin of life. N…

Structural constraints limit the regime of optimal flux in autocatalytic reaction networks
Armand Despons, Yannick de Decker, David Lacoste
Autocatalytic chemical networks play a predominant role in a large number of natural systems such as in metabolic pathways and in ecological networks. Despite recent efforts, the p…
