Abiogensis (cr artificial life)



I was wondering if anyone knows of any computer simulations used to
study abiogenesis or the "Origins of Life".

(I'm thinking of something in the manner of the following example:
Simulating a primordial soup environment with a supercomputer.
Placing simulated amino acids into the enviro and "seeing what
happens" after trillions of iterations.)

Perhaps this is not even feasible yet? There are several origin
hypotheses (clay, deep sea vent, iron-metabolism, phospholipid, etc).
It seems to me this would be a plausible way to eliminate some of
these hypotheses.

Thanks for your help.
