Why is life so exact?

TL;DR

This paper explores the physical and symmetrical properties of conformational oscillations in living cells to explain the high accuracy of biological processes like protein biosynthesis, addressing Schrödinger's question about life's nature.

Contribution

It introduces the concept that symmetry in conformational oscillations is fundamental to understanding biochemical selectivity and the precision of biological replication.

Findings

Symmetry of conformational oscillations explains biochemical selectivity.

Physical aspects of protein biosynthesis are enriched by considering oscillation symmetry.

The approach offers a new perspective on the physical basis of life's accuracy.

Abstract

This is my attempt to answer Schr\"odinger's question: "What is Life?". In living cell the local combination of atoms is reproduced with incredible accuracy. In the case of protein biosynthesis the notion of the physical aspect of the process can be qualitatively enriched by taking into account the symmetry of conformational oscillations. This is the key to understand the selectivity in biochemistry.
