title: Kinetic investigation of porphyrin interaction with chiral templates reveals unexpected features of the induction and self-propagation mechanism of chiral memory.
abstract: Kinetics of the porphyrin aggregation leading to a chiral memory system shows a remarkable "catalytic" effect of the noncovalent templates explaining their self-replication ability.
