ges. Why these aperiodic matter can control the life strictly and precisely? Why a small amount of nature catalystenzyme can be far more efficient than plenty of manmade catalysts? Is the growth of life determined by genetic materials or by selfassembly or by both of them? From the book “Liquid Crystals and Biological Structures” written by Glenn and Jerome , I got deeper understanding of biological structures which possess both mobility and longrange structure order, respond to a variety of external stimuli just like the properties of liquid crystals. The striking architecture at the molecular level shows there is a mon physicalchemical origin for all life systems. The oriented molecules in liquid crystals furnish an ideal medium for catalytic action, particularly of the plex type needed to account for growth and reproduction. Water, especially the weak hydrogen bond plays crit
