MOLECULAR SALTATIONS. “Under Tkachenko and Maslov’s model, the move from monomers to polymers is a very sudden one. It’s also hysteretic — that is, it takes a very certain set of conditions to make the initial leap from monomers to self-replicating polymers, but those stringent requirements are not necessary to maintain a system of self-replicating polymers once one has leapt over the first hurdle.”
