....discussion should not imply that DNA was developed as a stable information storage only after the progression to coded protein synthesis. Szostak proposed (Weiner and Maizels 1984) that DNA could have served as permanent information storage already in an RNA world and there is theoretical (Hogeweg 1994) and experimental evidence. cf Benner on dexoxyribonucleotide reductases (Gesteland and Atkins 1993) support for such a notion. Furthermore, the linking of genes eases the general problem of parasitic interactions in groups of genes (Frank 1994) The question whether DNA was developed after or ....

....systems often lead to spatial patterns which appear for a large number of different applications [1, 2, 3, 4] They have been studied frequently with many interesting aspects in recent years. In particular, their relevance for the origin of life has been emphasised in some papers [1, 2, 5, 6] as spontaneous spatial ordering provides a desirable compartmentation and may be a first step to cell formation. The models which we consider represent a set of different macromolecules that are able to replicate and form copies of the existing ones. The reactions are supposed to be governed by ....
