Models on prebiotic polymer competition: A deterministic approach by Dionyssis Venieratos is a Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Models on prebiotic polymer competition: A deterministic approach about?

Two simple models are proposed and analysed, in which it is shown that the formation of a new polymer, resulting from an "error" in the template action mechanism of production of an old polymer, may compromise the stability of the initial system under specific conditions, in the context of prebiotic evolution. Autocatalysis is shown to be a "selective advantage", enabling the "mutant\*' to dominate in concentration and even replace the initial polymer. The addition of a third molecule playing the role of a catalyst causes hysteresis effects.

Who reads Models on prebiotic polymer competition: A deterministic approach?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
