catalysis

Consider catalysis as a fundamental prior of biological mechanisms.

Consider catalysis as a fundamental prior of biological mechanisms (including replication: catalyst {step > sequence } -> replicator {step > sequence}) “catalysis consumes reactant, and emits by-product: a catalyst transforms reactant to product 1” Via intermediate form; under specific circumstances. ↩︎
