The single chirality of biological molecules in terrestrial biology raises more questions than
certitudes about its origin. The emergence of biological homochirality (BH) and its …

Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Biological systems exhibit a range of complex functions at the micro-and nanoscales under
non-equilibrium conditions (for example, transportation and motility, temporal control …

Building on our ability to design and synthesise molecules and our understanding of the
noncovalent interactions between these molecules, the chemical sciences are currently …

A key goal of chemistry is to develop synthetic systems that mimic biology, such as self-
assembling, self-replicating models of minimal life forms. Oscillations are often observed in …

INTRODUCTION Although hundreds of organic reactions have been validated under
consensus prebiotic conditions, we still have only a fragmentary understanding of how these …

Although dynamic self-assembly, DySA, is a relatively new area of research, the past
decade has brought numerous demonstrations of how various types of components–on …

Many systems on our planet shift abruptly and irreversibly from the desired state to an
undesired state when forced across a “tipping point”. Some examples are mass extinctions …

We examine a nonreciprocally coupled dynamical model of a mixture of two diffusing
species. We demonstrate that nonreciprocity, which is encoded in the model via antagonistic …

Amide bond formation is one of the most important reactions in both chemistry and biology,,–
, but there is currently no chemical method of achieving α-peptide ligation in water that …
