SUMMARY:Chemical Evolution Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Some of the most interesting open questions about the origins o
 f life and molecular sciences center on chemical evolution and the spontan
 eous generation of new complex and functional chemical species. The specta
 cular polymers that underlay biology demonstrate an untapped\, by modern s
 cience\, creative potential. We hypothesized that prebiotic chemical evolu
 tionary processes leading to biopolymers were not idiosyncratic one-off ev
 ents. We have developed an experimental platform that accomplishes chemica
 l evolution in the laboratory. We have observed empirical outcomes\, some 
 of which were not foreseen. We have constructed experimental chemical syst
 ems that: (i) undergo continuous recursive change with transitions to new 
 chemical spaces while not converging\, (ii) demonstrate stringent chemical
  selection\, during which combinatorial explosion is avoided\, (iii) maint
 ain synchronicity of molecular sub-populations\, and (iv) harvest environm
 ental energy that is invested in chemical reactions. These results suggest
  that chemical evolution can be adapted to produce a broad array of molecu
 les with novel structures and functions.
