Abstract
Pattern formation in reputedly homogeneous chemical systems has manifested itself in two characteristically quite different conditions: the BELOUSOV-ZHABOTINSKY reaction [1,2] as well as the glycolyzing cell-free extract of yeast [3,4,5] demonstrate time and space dependent concentration gradients. The common feature that these two systems share is their time-dependent coupling of the rate of chemical reaction and diffusion of reactants and products with the consequence that all components of the system are no longer homogeneously distributed in space. These features are maintained for given dynamic conditions.
