X Abstract

Abstract. We have constructed a simple model of a proto-cell that simulates stochastic dynamics of abstract chemicals on a two-dimensional lattice. We have assumed that chemicals catalyze their reproduction through interaction with each other, and that repulsion occurs between some chemicals. We have shown that chemicals organize themselves into a cell-like structure that maintains its membranes dynamically. Further, we have obtained cells that can divide themselves automatically into daughter cells. 1
