自动催化和化学放大是生命系统的特性，可以导致反应性增加和自我复制。在这里，我们描述了一种合成系统，其中一种独特的形式的试剂区室化引起的非线性动力学，受到精确的大小和形状的选择性的主机。反应性让人想起自催化行为，其中试剂和产物之间没有直接接触，我们的方法提供了一种将复杂的化学行为强加给合成系统的通用方法。
Autocatalysis and chemical amplification are properties of living systems that can lead to increased responsiveness and to self-replication. Here we describe a synthetic system in which a unique form of reagent compartmentalization gives rise to nonlinear kinetics that are subject to the precise size- and shape-selectivity of the host. The reactivity is reminiscent of autocatalytic behaviour, in which there is no direct contact between reagents and products, and our approach offers a general way to impose complex chemical behaviour onto synthetic systems.
