DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Autocatalysi
 sRN/6/">Spontaneous emergence of chirality in systems of self-replicating 
 molecules</a>\nby Sijbren Otto (University of Groningen) as part of Autoca
 talysis in reaction networks\n\n\nAbstract\nThe process by which life emer
 ges from lifeless molecules is still shrouded in mystery. In this talk I w
 ill show how many features of life can arise spontaneously in chemical sys
 tems where a reversible oligomerization process of relatively simple build
 ing blocks is accompanied by self-assembly. This includes the emergence of
  self-replicators\, the emergence of catalysis in such systems that goes b
 eyond autocatalysis and the emergence of chiral symmetry breaking.\n
