A Chemical Reaction Network Drives Complex Population Dynamics in Oscillating Self-Reproducing Vesicles

Abstract:: We report chemically fueled oscillations of vesicles. The population cycling of vesicles is driven by their self-reproduction and collapse within a biphasic reaction network involving the interplay of molecular and supramolecular events. We studied the oscillations on the molecular and supramolecular scales and tracked vesicle populations in time by interferometric scattering microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Complex supramolecular events were observed during oscillationsincluding vesicle reproduction, growth, and decompositionand differences in the number, size, and mass of aggregates can often be observed within and between pulses. This system’s dynamic behavior is reminiscent of a reproductive cycle in living cells.
