摘要
The order reversible arrow disorder phase transformation involved in life and death is discussed. Five bioactive substrate ordering factors are proposed to provide the mechanisms for overcoming the entropic barrier to forming life from a disordered molecular assemblage. Molecular orbital models (AM1 method) are used to analyze the ordering factors. The results are consistent with the genetic activation characteristics and tissue bonding of bioactive silicate glasses.
