Abstract

Time lapse photomicrographic evidence is presented for the occurrence in self-organized supramacromolecular units of: 1. 1. Optical disappareance of interior material to leave outer boundary or membrane; 2. 2. Brownian motion within the unit; 3. 3. Appearance of septa which divide the units. These phenomena occur in a suspension of particles formed from thermal polyamino acid. The dynamic phenomena are triggered by an increase in pH with phosphate-citrate buffer. The formed units and the phenomena they dislay arise from the material which is formed also in an experimental continuum, and thus provide a model of how some precellular phenomena might have arisen spontaneously.
