5. A model hypothetical example
Let's
assume, that there is population EDOCS
catalyzing the same basic reaction. Suppose that at
stage of 1st generation is available six variants of the duplicated
structures with a miscellaneous, but low level of
catalytic activity - a1, a2 .... a6. Further, suppose, that at this stage between them there was
a recombination process: a1 subunits has exchanged with a2: (conditional record: a1--> a2),
a3--> a4, a5--> a6. As a
result of recombination it was formed four variants with different catalytic
activity, and a variant a1 ’ - with maximum activity,
characteristic of symmetric structures, but two variants
- with zero activity (a2' = 0, a6 '= 0).
|
1-st generation |
|
Variants with
zero activity die (precipitate) and the remaining EDOCS at a stage of 2nd
generation re-enter the recombination: a1 '--> a3', a4 '--> a5'. As a
result of this recombination another precipitating variant with zero activity
(a5 "= 0) was formed.
|
2-nd generation |
|
The remaining
three variants of EDOCS again come to the recombination (a stage of 3rd
generations), for example a3 ”-> a4”, in which two variants
of EDOCS with maximum catalytic activity (a1 '= max) and one more variant with
zero activity (a6 "= 0) form. Last variant is also precipitated.
|
3-d generation |
|
The subsequent recombination has not lead to an increase
in catalytic activity at EDOCS as they reach perfection (maximal symmetry and
maximum power of basic reaction). However, further development can take place
in more complex systems such as membranes and increase of the power of basic
reaction will proceed. Already such simplified scheme shows that in the process
of recombination and selection of active duplicated structures and EDOCS
generational change there is a process of enrichment of population by
duplicated structures with a high degree of activity and a higher symmetry. Interested persons can, by setting various
parameters, to simulate this process on a computer in a much more complicated
form. However, as it is possible to believe,
the results of such simulations will be quite expected.
