چکیده

We have constructed a simple model of a proto-cell that simulates stochastic dynamics of abstract chemicals on a two-dimensional lattice. We have assumed that chemicals catalyze their reproduction through interaction with each other, and that repulsion occurs between some chemicals. We have shown that chemicals organize themselves into a cell-like structure that maintains its membranes dynamically. Further, we have obtained cells that can divide themselves automatically into daughter cells.

Ribocell Modeling

Extended Abstract A minimal living cell, or protocell, is a minimal supra molecular self-bounded structure that can exhibit self-maintenance, selfreproduction and evolvability (Luisi 2003). Some years ago, Szostak and colleagues proposed a minimal cell prototype called Ribocell: ribozymes based cell (Szostak et al. 2001) that, in principle, can exhibit all these three properties. This model cel...
