Spatial structure supports diversity in prebiotic autocatalytic chemical ecosystems

Abstract Autocatalysis is thought to have played an important role in the earliest stages of the origin of life. An autocatalytic cycle (AC) is a set of reactions that results in stoichiometric increase in its constituent chemicals. When the reactions of multiple interacting ACs are active in a regi...
