PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTANCE STABILITY AND ATP IN LIVING ORGANISMS
Abstract
The principle of substance stability marks a new physical approach of awareness processes the origin of life, evolution and aging of living beings with the position of hierarchical thermodynamics. The action of the above principle in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics helps to maintain a relatively high concentration of energy consuming chemicals in living tissues.
... The justice of the principle is proved on a quantitative basis as applied to the molecular and supramolecular structural levels of biological tissues. By now, a lot of evidence has been found to validate this principle with application to chemical substances and systems [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. ...
... These dynamic processes are very close to equilibrium. For example, these transformations are well known for ATP synthesis and metabolism in living systems [23]. The above transformations and restructuring are only possible in the presence of liquid water. ...
A brief historical review is given to the substantiation of the thermodynamic principle of substance stability that governs chemical and biological evolution. It is stated that this principle can be extended to all structural hierarchies in the Universe. The author believes that there is a variable thermodynamic code of life implemented through the principle of substance stability at a level of supramolecular and higher structures of living matter. It is felt that the principle of substance stability is a general physical principle of hierarchical organization and evolution of matter. The use of the principle for studying evolution processes requires correct separation of interacting hierarchical systems.
