A model for cooperative autocatalytic chemical reactions
EXPLORABLES by Olivia Jack , Dirk Brockmann 6 October, 2022 This explorable illustrates the dynamics of the famous hypercycle model. It was originally conceived by Peter Schuster and Nobel laureate Manfred Eigen (1927-2019) in 1979 to investigate the chemical basis of the origin of life. Because living things make copies of themselves, in the beginning complex chemicals like polymer chains, including small RNA molecules (see e.g. RNA-world ), had to acquire the ability to catalyse their own synthesis from smaller parts, e.g. single nucleotides. Before the hypercycle, Eigen had developed the qu
