Hi everyone, This week Dr. Dmitry Zubarev will tell us about his work on the chemical origins of life during our group meeting talk. Please see the abstract of his talk below. Best, Felipe Herrera ----- *Abstract:* This seminar is an opportunity for me to practice before the annual symposium organized by Simons Collaboration for the Origin of Life. It will be a crossover between the materials from a 10-minute general-audience talk and a poster presentation. Some of them have been discussed at previous seminars and some are new. I will describe the general idea of transforming the search for origin of life into a problem of design and engineering of chemical landscapes. As an implementation of this idea, SocialMol will be introduced. SocialMol is a computational framework that can be used to study parametric models of the chemical space. As an example, I will discuss construction and analysis of a hypothetical landscape of reductive non-enzymatic autocatalytic cycles.
