Life on Earth possesses an exceptional ability to self-reproduce, which, even on a simple cellular level, is driven by complex biochemistry. But can self-reproduction exist in a biochemistry-free ...
SSPCM-RS describes the growth of proto-cells consisting of only the RPC. The model illustrates the theoretical minimal t d_srs of self-reproducing proto-cells. SSPCM-RS + AA describes the growth of ...
Protocells are believed to have existed on early Earth prior to the emergence of prokaryotes. Due to their rudimentary nature, it is widely accepted that these protocells lacked intracellular ...
