Abstract
It was shown on the Frank autocatalytic reaction-diffusion scheme that strong environmental fluctuations, conditioned by external noise (e.g . sunlight fluctuation) and external macroscopic flows (e.g. ebb and f low), typical for conditions on prebiotic earth, may have been benefic ial for chiral symmetry breaking and formation and stabilization of bi omolecular homochirality.
