Abstract RNA is an information‐carrying molecule that instructs protein synthesis, but it also functions as a catalyst in so‐called ribozymes. Here, we study this multifunctional character using dynamic combinatorial library powered by chemical fuel. On the one hand, demonstrate templates oligomerization and inhibits deoligomerization. other show can be structural element formation of hydrogels. Moreover, its hydrogel, degradation nucleases accelerated. Thus, have role beyond blueprints, protectors, selectors. Template‐oligomer interactions create new (micro)environments might affect evolutionary dynamics.

Systems that change properties upon exposure to chemical stimuli offer the interesting prospect of (partially) mimicking functions living systems. Over past decade, numerous supramolecular systems whose composition and are regulated by dissipation fuels have been reported. These typically based on transient transformation a "dormant" species into an active, self-assembling monomer. The process is powered fuel consumption terminates depletion, restoring initial dormant state. Previously reported out-of-equilibrium polymerizations relied activation adding or removing small structural units enable polymerization. Here, we present approach combines reversibility dynamic covalent chemistry trigger "recycling" components combinatorial library (DCL). Treatment equilibrated DCL aliphatic imines aromatic amines with activated carboxylic acid (ACA) generates dissipative protonated amines. acidic conditions creation polymer held together interactions between crown ether moieties embedded in scaffold imines. Thus, reshuffles connectivity enables temporary purely (polymeric) system polymer. We demonstrate strategy using two different feedstocks consisting diimine macrocycle involving calix[4]arene distribution imine (cyclo)oligomers derived from isophthalaldehyde skeleton.

Spontaneous chemical reactions proceed energetically downhill to either a local or global minimum, limiting possible transformations those that are exergonic. Endergonic do not spontaneously and require an input of energy. Light has been used drive number deracemisations thermodynamically unfavourable bond-forming reactions, but is restricted substrates can absorb, directly indirectly, energy provided by photons. In contrast, anabolism involves uphill powered fuels. Here we report on the transduction from artificial fuel Diels–Alder reaction. Carboxylic acid catalysed carbodiimide-to-urea formation chemically orthogonal reaction diene dienophile, transiently brings functional groups into close proximity, causing otherwise prohibited cycloaddition in modest yield (15% after two fuelling cycles) with high levels regio- (>99%) stereoselectivity (92:8 exo:endo). Kinetic asymmetry cycle ratchets away equilibrium distribution Diels–Alder:retro-Diels–Alder products. The driving endergonic occurs through ratchet mechanism (an information ratchet, depending synthetic protocol), reminiscent how molecular machines directionally bias motion. Ratcheting synthesis potential expand chemistry toolbox, offering new paradigms reactivity, complexity control.

Division is crucial for replicating biological compartments and, by extension, a fundamental aspect of life. Current studies highlight the importance simple vesicular structures in prebiotic conditions, yet mechanisms behind their self-division remain poorly understood. Recent research suggests that environmental factors can induce phase transitions fatty acid-based protocells, leading to vesicle fission. However, using chemical energy division, similar extant life, has been less explored. This study investigates mechanism division membrane budding driven without complex molecular machinery. We demonstrate that, response fuel, vesicles bud off smaller daughter vesicles.
