Self-Replication in a Diels-Alder Reaction. -Rates of Diels-Alder reactions are investigated using several model compounds, e.g. diene (I). The sigmoidal character of the reaction curves at 23 and 40 β’ C indicates an autocatalytic process. The response to added product (III) confirms its catalytic
## Abstract It is commonly agreed that a chemical assembly of molecules can be considered alive if it can ingest resources and convert them into building blocks; has the ability to grow and selfβreproduce; and can evolve. In the design proposed by Rasmussen and Chen (Science 2004, 303, 963) the ass
