From: Quasispecies in population of compositional assemblies
A general scheme of the GARD model. The environment contains a large, buffered, repertoire of different amphiphiles. An assembly forms and grows by the accretion of amphiphiles, which is dictated by network of rate-enhancement parameters (β, which represents the environmental chemistry) and the assembly’s composition. Once it has reached a predefined maximal size, a binary fission occurs and the growth cycle can begins again.
