We investigate the properties of large random conservative chemical reactionnetworks composed of elementary reactions endowed with either mass-action orsaturating kinetics, assigning kinetic parameters in athermodynamically-consistent manner. We find that such complex networks exhibitqualitatively similar behavior when fed with external nutrient flux. Thenutrient is preferentially transformed into one specific chemical that is anintrinsic property of the network. We propose a self-consistent proto-cell toymodel in which the preferentially synthesized chemical is a precursor for thecell membrane, and show that such proto-cells can exhibit sustainablehomeostatic growth when fed with any nutrient diffusing through the membrane,provided that nutrient is metabolized at a sufficient rate.
