Chirality Selection Models in a Closed System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently the first chemical systems which show the amplification of enantiomeric excess (ee) was found. Inspired by these experiments, we propose a few chemical reaction models in a closed system. The reactions consist of autocatalytic production of chiral molecules and their decomposition processes. By means of flow diagrams in the phase space of enatiometric concentrations, chiral symmetry breaking is studied. Without any destruction processes, the quadratic autocatalysis leads to the amplification of ee, but the flow is attracted to a fixed line, which is only marginally stable. The destruction processes alter the attractor structure completely. With a cross inhibition the linear autocatalysis is sufficient for the chiral symmetry breaking with a complete homochirality. With a back reaction, the quadratic autocatalysis is necessary to bring about the chiral symmetry breaking. The final ee is not complete if there is a racemization process.

Design of An Integrated Robust Optimization Model for Closed-Loop Supply Chain and supplier and remanufacturing subcontractor selection
The development of optimization and mathematical models for closed loop supply chain (CLSC) design has attracted considerable interest over the past decades. However, the uncertainties that are inherent in the network design are challenging the capabilities of the developed tools. In CLSC Uncertainty in demand is major source of uncertainty. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to present a Rob...
متن کاملChirality Selection in Open Flow Systems and in Polymerization
As an attempt to understand the homochirality of organic molecules in life, a chemical reaction model is proposed where the production of chiral monomers from achiral substrate is catalyzed by the polymers of the same enatiomeric type. This system has to be open because in a closed system the enhanced production of chiral monomers by enzymes is compensated by the associated enhancement in back ...

Quantitative models for determining prices in a remanufacturing system with exclusive and competitive market structure
Remanufacturing is an industrial process that makes used products reusable. Remanufacturing is a way to establish a closed-loop supply chain. One of the important aspects in both reverse logistics and remanufacturing is pricing of returned and remanufactured products (called cores) that it has been noticed in this paper. In addition, in this paper the researchers have tried to present a mathema...
