New biomimetic systems enhance in vitro evolution by integrating self-assembling membranes with spatial pattern formation in polynucleotide amplification reactions. This advances the study of molecular evolution and programmable matter.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • Systems Chemistry
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Established multi-enzyme 3SR (39-step synthesis) reactions enable isothermal polynucleotide amplification for in vitro evolution studies.
  • Microstructured thin-film open bioreactors facilitate spatially resolved flow experiments for these reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and simulate artificial DNA/RNA chemistries for molecular in vitro evolution.
  • To investigate the role of spatial pattern formation in stabilizing cooperative molecular properties.
  • To extend programmable matter simulations to include self-assembling flexible membranes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of artificial DNA/RNA chemistries modeled at the individual molecule and complex level.
  • Computer simulations using configurable hardware (NGEN) to study these artificial chemistries.
