This model simplifies the autocatalytic thiol network to bimolecular autocatalytic production of thiols from thioester, and considers the concentrations of CSSC and acrylamide ([CSSC] and ...

But how? One idea is that groups of molecules can form autocatalytic sets. These are self-sustaining chemical factories, in which the product of one reaction is the feedstock or catalyst for another.

Intriguing 'autocatalytic' reactions appear to be far more common than scientists had thought. Self-sustaining chemical reactions that could support biology radically different from life as we ...

In professional terminology, they synthesized inorganic gold(I)-cyanide (AuCN) systems in the shape of nanowires, using an autocatalytic reaction (i.e. through the acceleration of a reaction by ...

This presentation focuses on recent work investigating what can impact on the thermal stability of nitro containing species – a functional group much studied and long known to have a high heat of ...

The ADGRE2 receptor undergoes autocatalytic cleavage, producing an extracellular subunit that noncovalently binds a transmembrane subunit. We showed that the variant probably destabilizes an ...

In a previous post on economics and collectively autocatalytic sets, it was pointed out that an economy consists of input goods, production capacity "catalyzed" transformations of these to output ...

The decomposition process is also autocatalytic—in other words, molecules formed during decomposition act as catalysts for even more decomposition, triggering a runaway reaction that poses an ...
