(1994) On self-organization, Dordrecht, Springer.
A model for stimulated and co-operative electron transfer in biomolecular systems
L. Pohlmann, H. Tributsch
pp. 133-142
The paradigm of self-organization is playing an increasingly important role in attempts to reunify the sciences. Due to Prigogine's fundamental work the old paradox of emergence of highly complex order in living systems on the one hand, and the increase of entropy demanded by the second law of thermodynamics on the other hand, was resolved. Therefore one is tempted to say that modern biology must be the very natural field of self- organization theory. This is, indeed, the case in population dynamics, in the theory of emergence of life (Eigen's Hypercycle) and in some special oscillating biochemical reactions.
