Compartmentalization and Cell Division through Molecular Discreteness and Crowding in a Catalytic Reaction Network
Explanation of the emergence of primitive cellular structures from a set of chemical reactions is necessary to unveil the origin of life and to experimentally synthesize protocells. By simulating a cellular automaton model with a two-species hypercycle, we demonstrate the reproduction of a localized...
