摘要
Unraveling how chemistry can give rise to biology is one of the greatest challenges of contemporary science. Achieving life-like properties in chemical systems is therefore a popular topic of research. Synthetic chemical systems are usually deterministic: the outcome is determined by the experimental conditions. In contrast, many phenomena that occur in nature are not deterministic but caused by random fluctuations (stochastic). Here, we report on how, from a mixture of two synthetic molecules, two different self-replicators emerge in a stochastic fashion. Under the same experimental conditions, the two self-replicators are formed in various ratios over several repeats of the experiment. We show that this variation is caused by a stochastic nucleation process and that this stochasticity is more pronounced close to a phase boundary. While stochastic nucleation processes are common in crystal growth and chiral symmetry breaking, it is unprecedented for systems of synthetic self-replicators.
