Abstract
Do it yourself: An autocatalytic cycle network is introduced to accurately reproduce the unprecedented features of the Soai reaction such as huge asymmetric autoamplification and spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking. In contrast to previous attempts, which were based on formal kinetics, the present mechanism involves interconnected realistic structures including dimers, trimers and tetramers and resembles stereoselective and template-directed self-replication (see picture).
