Has there ever been a computer modelling of abiogenesis?

Hi Neutralmind, the short answer is "yes, plenty." The main journal of origins of life research is "Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres," (http://www.springerlink.com/content/1573-0875/). Other journals where this sort of research is found include the "Journal of Molecular Evolution," (http://www.springerlink.com/content/1432-1432/).I believe the first computer model was put forth by the physicist Freeman Dyson in 1982 who used equations from principles of ferromagnetism to infer the qualities of "living systems." Since then there's been a lot of work by a number of other individuals in the field, but since I don't have access to Web of Science on this computer and since I'm not in this branch of the field, I can't give you much more info right now. Give me a bit and I'll post some more examples.However, a lot of the researchers in the field do not like using computer models to simulate abiogenesis for two reasons. 1) A lot of the data that is necessary for an adequate abiotic simulation of a set of chemical reactions is not known, and 2) It's very easy to omit key chemical reactions that could result in complete invalidation of a model's conclusions. Several of the models on abiogenesis get around this by simulating chemical systems with reactions like "A-->B" with adjustable reaction rates, and the results are actually interesting.
