The Role of Non-Genomic Information in Maintaining Thermodynamic Stability in Living Systems
Living systems represent a local exception, albeittransient, to the second law of thermodynamics, which requiresentropy or disorder to increase with time. Cells maintain a stableordered state by generating a steep transmembrane entropy gradientin an open thermodynamic system far from equilibrium thr...
