7 Replication fork in DNA replication The mechanism of DNA replication is semi-conservative

8 Complementary replication is the simplest copying mechanism of RNA. Complementarity is determined by Watson-Crick base pairs: G C and A=

10 Stock solution: activated monomers, ATP, CTP, GTP, TP (TTP); a replicase, an enzyme that performs complemantary replication; buffer solution Flow rate: r = R -1 The population size N, the number of polynucleotide molecules, is controlled by the flow r N ( t) N ± N The flowreactor is a device for studies of evolution in vitro and in silico.

11 Complementary replication as the simplest molecular mechanism of reproduction

12 Equation for complementary replication: [I i ] = x i 0, f i > 0 ; i=1,2 Solutions are obtained by integrating factor transformation f x f x f x x f dt dx x x f dt dx = + = = = ,, φ φ φ () ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ,1 1,2 (0), (0) (0) (0), (0) (0) exp 0 ) ( exp 0 ) ( exp 0 exp 0 f f f x f x f x f x f t f f f t f f f t f t f f t x = = + = + + = γ γ γ γ γ γ 0 ) exp( as ) ( and ) ( ft f f f t x f f f t x
