Chiral symmetry breaking in a microscopic model with asymmetric autocatalysis and inhibition.
Asymmetric autocatalysis and inhibition have been proposed as key processes in the spontaneous emergence of chiral symmetry breaking in a prebiotic world. An elementary lattice model is formulated to simulate the kinetics of chiral symmetry breaking via autocatalysis and inhibition in a mixture of prochiral reactants, chiral products, and inert solvent. Starting from a chirally unbiased initial...
متن کاملMirror-symmetry breaking in the Soai reaction: a kinetic understanding.
Kinetic modeling using nonlinear differential equations is proposed to analyze the spontaneous generation of enantiomeric excess in the autocatalytic addition of diisopropylzinc to prochiral pyrimidine carbaldehydes (Soai reaction). Our approach reproduces experimentally observed giant chiral amplification from an initial enantiomeric excess of <10(-6)% to >60%, high sensitivity and positive re...
متن کاملChirality Selection Models in a Closed System
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 br...

متن کاملKinetic Aspects of Soai ́s Asymmetric Autocatalysis
Recent kinetic studies are discussed that shed light on the reaction mechanism of the autocatalytic addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine carbaldehydes (Soai reaction). Soai’s reaction stands for the exclusive example of chirally autocatalytic reaction system in organic chemistry and has attracted close attention from several viewpoints: as possible account for the origin of biomolecular ho...
