title: Specific autocatalysis in diastereoisomeric replicators.
abstract: Two diastereoisomeric cycloadducts are capable of accelerating their own formation through the assembly of catalytic ternary complexes. The two cycloadducts do not have any measurable catalytic effect on the rate of formation of their diastereoisomer. [structure: see text]
