On The Lack of a General Theory of Physical Biology
Alfredo Iorio
Abstract
By briefly reviewing our research on DNA aggregates and virus structure I point to
the fact that the general framework to treat biological phenomena from a
physical perspective is lacking. To solve this problem we may or may not need to
introduce new physics. Nonetheless, by recalling here Schrödinger's arguments
on the physical description of life, I suggest that if new laws need to be
introduced to describe living matter with physics perhaps they could emerge
from the understanding of how the order and stability of DNA is reflected in the
order and stability of the macroscopic organism.
Keywords
