    "abstract": "Living organisms are not just random collections of organic molecules. There\nis continuous information processing going on in the apparent bouncing around\nof molecules of life. Optimisation criteria in this information processing can\nbe searched for using the laws of physics. Quantum dynamics can explain why\nliving organisms have 4 nucleotide bases and 20 amino acids, as optimal\nsolutions of the molecular assembly process. Experiments should be able to tell\nwhether evolution indeed took advantage of quantum dynamics or not.",
