Unidirectional circulation in a prebiotic photochemical cycle.
In this brief note, we suggest the possibility that a soliton-assisted unidirectional photochemical cycle has played a role in prebiotic evolution. This suggestion is based on a model calculation which is itself based on the detection of Davydov-type soliton overtones in acetanilide.
