Abstract:<p>Evolvability of the chemical replicator systems requires non-equilibrium energy dissipation, effective death pathways and transfer of structural information in the autocatalytic cycles. We engineered a chemical network with peptidic foldamer components, where UV light fuelled dissipative sequence-dependent exponential replication and replicator decomposition. The light-harvesting formation-recombination cycle of the thiyl radicals was coupled with the molecular recognition steps in the replication cyc… Show more
