Editing Autocatalytic set (section)

==Probability that a random set is autocatalytic==

Studies of the above model show that random RS can be autocatalytic with high probability under some assumptions. This comes from the fact that with a growing number of molecules, the number of possible reactions and catalysations grows even larger if the molecules grow in complexity, producing stochastically enough reactions and catalysations to make a part of the RS self-supported.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Mossel E, Steel M. | title = Random biochemical networks and the probability of self-sustaining autocatalysis | journal = Journal of Theoretical Biology | volume = 233 | issue = 3 | pages = 327–336 | year = 2005 | pmid =  15652142| doi = 10.1016/j.jtbi.2004.10.011| bibcode = 2005JThBi.233..327M | citeseerx = 10.1.1.133.9352 }}</ref> An autocatalytic set then extends very quickly with growing number of molecules
for the same reason. These theoretical results make autocatalytic sets attractive for scientific explanation of the very early origin of life.
