Yeah. Probably wouldn't work / there would be some weird equilibrium.

- gilleain 11y agoWell, I don't know of any protein folding examples, but it seems a lot like an "autocatalytic cycle" which is an interesting part of origin-of-life theories. Stuart Kauffman wrote some things about this, but here is a counterpoint from Leslie E Orgel: http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.0060018 http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/jour...
- Joof 11y agoMakes logical sense that it would be a part of life (once you can synthesize a few things from a given one thing you can build all sorts of logical structures...), but I see there are tons of biological probabilities at play that I don't understand. How did school manage to make biology so boring? They did it with math too, so I shouldn't be surprised, but damn. Would love resources on an intro to bio for the CS folk. I'm sure there are some good ones out there.
