Some models for selection in enzyme coupled, selfreproducing, macromolecular systems are considered. The enzyme coupling provides a mechanism for the buildup of systems with large information content. The concept of "selective value" and criteria for selection is discussed.

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we consider a model for the selection and evolution of biological macromolecules when their reproduction is based on complementary instruction. The model is an extension of one of Eigen's models for selection and takes in account explicitly the formation of both single stranded and double stranded molecular complexes. We construct exact solutions to the rate equations for the case of constant rate parameters and error distributions. Criteria for selection are discussed.
