In diesem Buch zeigt der Physiker und Biologe Alfred Gierer - er ist Direktor am Max-Planck- Institut für Entwicklungsbiologie - die Reichweite, aber auch die prinzipiellen Grenzen naturwissenschaftlichen Denkens auf. Beides wird nirgends so deutlich wie im Verhältnis der Biologie zur Physik: Hier stellen sich die Fragen, was Leben ist, wie es entstand und sich bis zur Höhe des Menschen entwickelte, wie der Reichtum der Formen zu verstehen ist und in welcher Beziehung das Bewußtsein, die “Seele”, zu einem wissenschaftlichen Verständnis der Lebensvorgänge steht. “Die Physik, das Leben und die Seele” informiert über diese wichtigen Zusammenhänge in allgemeinverständlicher Form und regt in besonderem Maße die Freude am kritischen Mitdenken an. Das Buch schlägt einen weiten Bogen von der Grundlagen der Physik und Logik über die neuen Erkenntnisse der Biologie bis zu der Frage, was uns die Naturwissenschaften über den Menschen und sein Bewußtsein lehren können - und was nicht.
Aggregates of previously isolated cells of Hydra are capable, under suitable solvant conditions, of regeneration forming complete animals. In a first stage, ecto- and endodermal cells sort out, producing the bilayered hollow structure characteristic of Hydra tissue; thereafter, heads are formed (even if the original cell preparation contained no head cells), eventually leading to the separation of normal animals with head, body column and foot. Hydra appears to be the highest type of organism that allows for regeneration of the entire structure from random cell aggregates. The system is particularly useful for studying cell interactions, tissue polarity, pattern formation, and cell differentiation.
The generation of viral mutants in vitro was demonstrated by treatment of the isolated RNA of Tobacco Mosaic Virus by nitrous acid. This agent causes deaminations converting cytosine into uracil, and adenine into hypoxanthine. Our assay for mutagenesis was the production of local lesions on a tobacco variety on which the untreated strain produces systemic infections only. A variety of different mutants are generated in this way. Quantitative analysis of the kinetics of mutagenesis leads to the conclusion that alteration of a single out of the 6000 nucleotides of the viral RNA is sufficient for causing a mutation.
Within the sedimentation diagram of infective RNA preparations isolated from Tobacco Mosaic Virus, undegraded molecules form a sharp peak with a molecular weight corresponding to the total RNA content of the virus particle. Degradation kinetics by ribonuclease is of the linear, single-target type, indicating that the RNA is single-stranded. The intact RNA of a virus particle thus forms one big single-stranded molecule. Quantitative evaluation of the effect degradation by RNA-ase on the infectivity of the RNA shows that the integrity of the entire molecule is required for its biological activity.
