Optimal size for emergence of self-replicating polymer system.
A biological system consists of a variety of polymers that are synthesized from monomers by catalysis, which exists only for some long polymers. It is important to elucidate the emergence and sustenance of such autocatalytic polymerization. We analyze here the stochastic polymerization reaction dynamics to investigate the transition time from a state with almost no catalysts to a state with suf...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emergence of Self-Replicating Structures in Molecube Automata
We propose and implement a discrete, two-dimensional evolutionary simulation of large numbers of interacting robotic modules called “molecubes,” which were shown empirically to have self-replicating ability (Zykov et al. 2005). In this simulation, the spontaneous and continuous emergence of large numbers of simple self-replicating molecube structures is observed without any explicit selection f...
متن کاملEmergence of self - replicating structures in a cellular automata space
Past cellular automata models of self-replication have always been initialized with an original copy of the structure that will replicate, and have been based on a transition function that only works for a single, specific structure. This article demonstrates for the first time that it is possible to create cellular automata models in which a self-replicating structure emerges from an initial s...
متن کاملDevelopment of a self-replicating plasmid system for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a prevalent swine respiratory pathogen that is a major cause of economic loss to pig producers. Control is achieved by a combination of antimicrobials, vaccination and management practices, but current vaccines offer only partial control and there is a need for improved preventative strategies. A major barrier to advances in understanding the pathogenesis of M. hyopn...
متن کاملToward a Self-replicating Metabolic P System
This work concerns the synthesis of a ‘minimal cell’ by means of a P system, which is a distributed rewriting system inspired by the structure and the functioning of the biological cell. Specifically, we aim to define a dynamical system which exhibits a steady metabolic evolution, resulting in self-maintenance and self-reproduction. Metabolic P systems represent a class of P systems particularl...
