About This Book

Based on a series of public lectures from 1943, this work explores how the laws of physics and chemistry apply to living organisms. Schrödinger introduces the concept of an aperiodic crystal as the carrier of genetic information, a theoretical prediction that influenced the discovery of DNA's structure.
