The past half century has seen an extraordinary growth in the
fields of cellular and molecular biology. From simple morphologi
cal concepts of cells as the essential units of living matter there
has been an ever-sharper focus on functional organization of living
systems, with emphasis on molecular dynamics. Thus, life forms have
come to be defined increasingly in terms of metabolism, growth,
reproduction and responses to environmental perturbations. Since
these properties occur in varying degrees in systems below the
level of cellular organization, there has been a blurring of older
models that restricted the concepts of life to cellular systems. At
the same time, a search has begun for elemental as pects of
molecular and atomic behavior that might better define properties
common to all life forms. This search has led to an examination of
nonlinear behavior in biological macromolecules, whether in
response to electrical or chemical stimulation, for example, or as
a means of signaling along a molecular chain, or as a means of
energy transfer. Experimental knowledge in this area has grown
rapidly in the past decade, and in some respects has outstripped
theoretical models adequate to ex plain these new observations.
Nevertheless, it can be claimed that there is now an impressive
body of experiments implicating non linear, nonequilibrium
processes as fundamental steps in sequential operations of
biological systems."
