Protocell Dynamics: Modelling Growth and Division of Lipid Vesicles Driven by an Autocatalytic Reaction
We study a computational model of a protocell, in which an autocatalytic reaction sustains itself inside a lipid vesicle. The autocatalytic reaction drives volume growth via osmosis. Membrane area grows due to addition of lipids from the environment. The membrane growth rate depends on the external...
