Synergetic mechanisms of chiral symmetry breaking in prebiotic evolution.
It was shown on the Frank autocatalytic reaction-diffusion scheme that strong environmental fluctuations, conditioned by external noise (e.g. sunlight fluctuation) and external macroscopic flows (e.g. ebb and flow), typical for conditions on prebiotic earth, may have been beneficial for chiral symmetry breaking and formation and stabilization of biomolecular homochirality.
