Cell Language Theory, The: Connecting Mind And Matter

This book presents a comprehensive molecular theory of the genotype-phenotype coupling, based on two key theoretical concepts: conformons and intracellular dissipative structures. It predicts two forms of genetic information, Watson-Crick genes and Prigoginian genes, and has important applications in biomedical sciences and mind-body research.

This remarkable book represents the culmination of 45 years of extensive research on a diverse array of subjects, encompassing atomic physics, single-molecule enzymology, whole-cell metabolism, physiology, pharmacology, linguistics, semiotics, and cosmology. It offers a comprehensive molecular theory of the genotype-phenotype coupling, based on two fundamental theoretical concepts: the conformon, a conformational wave packet in biopolymers that carries both free energy and genetic information, and the intracellular dissipative structures, chemical concentration waves within the cell that serve as the immediate drivers of all cell functions. Conformons provide the driving forces for all molecular machines within the cell, while intracellular dissipative structures coordinate intra- and intercellular processes such as gene expression and cell-cell communication.

One of the key predictions of the cell language theory (CLT) is that genetic information exists in two forms: the Watson-Crick genes, which transmit information in time and are associated with DNA, and the Prigoginian genes, which transmit information in space and are associated with RNA expression profiles. These genes are interconnected by conformons, acting as the analog of a pianist, coupling them together. The new theory of DNA structure and function constructed upon the basis of CLT provides a rational explanation for many perplexing findings uncovered by the ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) project.

The applications of the cell language theory are far-reaching and have significant implications in biomedical sciences, including drug discovery research and personalized medicine. On the one hand, it enables researchers to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases and develop targeted therapies. On the other hand, it contributes to mind-body research and consciousness studies, providing insights into the relationship between the brain and the mind and the nature of consciousness.

In conclusion, this book represents a groundbreaking achievement in the field of molecular biology and genetics. It provides a comprehensive and coherent framework for understanding the complex interplay between genotype and phenotype, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying biological processes and paving the way for new discoveries and advancements in medicine and other fields.
