  • competitive exclusion principle in ecology and absolute Asymmetric Synthesis in chemistry
    Chirality, 2015
    Co-Authors: Josep M. Ribó, David Hochberg
    Abstract:

    The key concepts underlying the Frank model (1953) for spontaneous Asymmetric Synthesis in chemistry are traced back to the pioneering works of Volterra (1926) and Lotka (1932) on biological species competition. The Lotka-Volterra (L-V) two-species exclusive competition model reduces to the Frank model for the special case of distinguishable but degenerate species (i.e., the enantiomers). The important ecological principle of competitive exclusion, originally derived from the L-V two-competitors model, is a consequence of sufficiently antagonistic interactions between the species competing for limited common resources, or mutual inhibition, as the term is known in the chemical literature on absolute Asymmetric Synthesis. The L-V and Frank models are described by the same general differential equations, nevertheless a crucial thermodynamic distinction between these models is necessary to correlate ecological selection and chemical selectivity arising from 1) the absence of reversibility in biological transformations, in marked contrast to chemical reactions, and 2) the constraints in chemical scenarios on the reaction rate constants required to fulfill the principle of micro-reversibility.

  • absolute Asymmetric Synthesis in enantioselective autocatalytic reaction networks theoretical games speculations on chemical evolution and perhaps a synthetic option
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2014
    Co-Authors: Josep M. Ribó, David Hochberg, Celia Blanco, Joaquim Crusats, Zoubir Elhachemi, Albert Moyano
    Abstract:

    The Soai reaction and the Viedma deracemization of racemic conglomerate crystal mixtures are experimental pieces of evidence of the ability of enantioselective autocatalytic coupled networks to yield absolute Asymmetric Synthesis. Thermodynamically open systems or systems with non-uniform energy distributions may lead to chiral final states and, in systems able to come into thermodynamic equilibrium with their surroundings, to kinetically controlled absolute Asymmetric Synthesis. The understanding of network parameters and of the thermodynamic scenarios that may lead to spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SMSB) could assist in the development of new methods for Asymmetric Synthesis and enantioselective polymerizations (e.g., replicators), and to frame reasonable speculations on the origin of biological homochirality.
