Thermocycle and Evolutionary Combinatorics in the Genesis and Evolution of Protobiopolymers. Basic Kinetic Principles

Аннотация

The basic kinetic principles of genesis and evolution of protobiopolymeric molecules are discussed. An approach combining polymerization and selection of macromolecular structures is the thermocycle providing the thermodynamic feasibility of formation of the monomer–monomer bond and kinetic selection of structures by picking more regular complexes. The basic kinetic principle of the successful evolutionary process is formulated as follows: the systems win if the mechanism of their development involves exponential growth steps.
