This project explores the origin of life by applying modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics to study essential functions like self-maintenance and self-replication in protobiological systems. It aims to derive thermodynamic thresholds that define the minimal energy requirements for life-like processes, particularly in sy…
It has long been suggested that the laws of thermodynamics may specify thresholds for the origin of life, in terms of minimal free energy fluxes needed to perform basic life-like functions such as self-maintenance and self-replication.
Such thresholds have yet to be derived, however, in large part because conventional thermodynamics is restricted to systems that are in equilibrium, macroscopic in scale, and that do not exchange information with their environments.
On the other hand, protobiologi…
