CHIRALITY BY SELFORDERING OF STRINGS IN LIQUID PHASE AND LEXPARSIMONIAE IN NATURE

Abstract

We have studied the physical and chemical
mechanisms of strings formation in the model prebiotic
systems including aqueous solutions of phenylalanine.
We discuss the biological signifi cance of the strings, as
elements of intercellular commutation, cytoskeleton and
other anisometric structures.
The estimated energy of the strings activation from
kinetic balance condition under the observed formation
thresholds made ~ 0.5 ev.
We have shown the considerable importance of chirality
of gelator molecules when strings are formed as well as
competitiveness of weak intermolecular interactions in
production of the supramolecular structure which allows of
considering strings, as control elements in the biological
systems.
