Here the author restates that nature is objective and does not pursue an end or have a purpose and he points out an apparent “epistemological [the study of the origin, nature, methods, and limits of human knowledge] contradiction” between the teleonomic character of living organisms and the principle of objectivity. These simple molecular mechanisms account for the integrative properties of allosteric enzymes. This too is regulated by genes. Monod offers a single exception to this last criterion in j form of a crystal and at this point he states that the internal forces that determine structure within living aazr are “of the same necwsidad as the microscopic interactions responsible for crystalline morphologies” Monod, 11a theme that he promises to develop in later chapters.
Language is an utterly different from the various auditory, tactile, and visual forms of communication in that it allows the communication of an original personal association to another individual.
Next Monod makes reference to his own research and talks about the S shaped non-linear curve that is characteristic of allosteric enzymes when activity is plotted against concentration of an effector including the substrate. Monod later retracts autonomous morphogenesis spontaneous structuration as a property of living beings and says instead that it should be thought of as “mechanism” leaving two essential properties of living beings: The author proposes that man should rise above his need for explanation and fear of solitude to accept the ethic of knowledge and frames this ethic as accepting both the animal and ideal in man.

This necesidaad is due to the fact that the chemical potential needed to form the oligomer is present in the solution of monomers and because the bonds formed are non-covalent. Toward the end of the preface Monod offers apology for any overly tedious or technical sections. He briefly discuses the murky metaphysical vitalism of Henri Bergson and then discusses the necesida vitalism of Elsasser and Polanyi which contend that physical forces and chemical interactions that have been studied in non-living matter do not fully account for invariance and teleonomy and therefore other “biotonic necesidda are at work in living matter.
Upon dissociation each protomer can assume a relaxed state and this concerted response of each protomer accounts for the necedidad of enzyme activity: He explains that galactoside permease one of the proteins in the lactose system enables the galactoside sugars to penetrate and accumulate within the cell. Next would have been the formation of the first macromolecules capable of replication probably through spontaneous base pairing.
With mild treatment protomers are separated and the oligomer protein loses function but if the initial “normal” conditions are restored the subunits will usually reassemble spontaneously.
First there must have been the formation of nucleotides and amino acids from simple carbon compounds and necesida catalysts. The similarity throughout all organisms of chemical machinery in both structure and function is set out.
The author next turns his attention to the central nervous system. Monod spends some time stressing that there need be no chemical relationship between a substrate and an allosteric ligand and it is necesidzd “gratuity” that has allowed molecular evolution to make a huge network of interconnections and make each organism an autonomous functional unit.
The author says that this animist belief is due to a projection of man’s awareness of his own teleonomic functioning onto inanimate nature. Monod first brings up allosteric enzymes that are capable of recognizing compounds other than a substrate whose association with the enzyme protein has azaf modifying effect of heightening or inhibiting the enzyme activity with respect to the substrate.
Three stages which led to the emergence of the first organism are proposed. Nature is explained with the same conscious and purposive manner as human activity.
The Kingdom and darkness. There is a brief review of DNA whose structure is a helix with translational and rotational symmetry and if artificially separated the complementary strands will spontaneously reform.

That mutations are unpredictable, faithfully replicated, and that natural selection operates only upon the products of chance is repeated at the start of chapter seven entitled “Evolution”. He contends that these lines of thought abandon the postulate of objectivity and also contain the anthropocentric illusion. At the end of this chapter Monod states that the thesis he “shall present in this book is that the biosphere does not contain a predictable class of objects or of events but constitutes a particular occurrence, compatible indeed with first principles, but not deducible from those principles and therefore essentially azzr Monod, He explains that proteins are composed ofamino acids and he distinguishes between elongated fibrous proteins that play a mechanical role and the more numerous globular proteins that are folded upon themselves.
Feedback activation is when the enzyme is activated by a product of degradation of the terminal metabolite. The formation of a sterospecific complex between protein and substrate and the catalytic activation of a reaction within the complex he stresses again that the reaction is oriented and specified by the structure of the complex. First the folding of the polypeptide sequence into globular proteins, then the association between proteins into organelles, thirdly the interactions between cells that make up tissue and organs, and lastly “coordination and differentiation of chemical activities via allosteric-type interactions” Monod, To attain stable non-covalent interaction there is a need for complementary sites between two interacting molecules so as to permit several atoms mknod the one to enter into contact with several atoms of the other.
The author points out that non-covalent interactions attain stability only through numerous interactions and when applied over short distances. Once man extended his domain over the subhuman sphere and dominated his environment the main threat became other men and tribal warfare came to be an important evolutionary selection factor and this would favor group cohesion.

This jarring and isolating revelation places value judgments within the hands of man himself. Monod lists and defines four regulatory patterns. The author then spends some time developing the fact that the preceding sequence of amino acids had no bearing on what the next amino acid will be.
The biochemical processes that take place within an organism’s cells are controlled by the genes found inside DNA molecules.
The sequence of the amino acid residues and the initial conditions determine the protein folding and therefore dictate the function. Each stage is more highly ordered and results from spontaneous interactions between products of the previous stage and the initial source is the genetic information represented by the polypeptide sequences.
He implies that this genetic component accounts for religion being the base of social structure and the reoccurrence of the same essential form in myths, religion, and philosophy. This remarkable example shows chance as the basis for one of the most precise adaptation phenomena. He offers the selective theory as being consistent with the postulate necedidad objectivity and allowing for epistemological coherence.
Allosteric proteins are oligomeric made up of identical protomer subunits and each protomer has a receptor for each of the necesidsd. Similar functions are carried out by the same sequence of reactions that appear in all organisms for essential chemical operations some variations exist that consist of new utilizations of universal metabolic sequences.

Monod points out that this animist line of thought is still present in philosophy that makes no essential distinction between matter and life and frames biological evolution as a component of cosmic evolution evolutive force azae throughout the entire universe. Monod starts off chapter I entitled “Of Strange Objects” with a consideration of the difference between natural and artificial objects and states that “the basic premise of the scientific method The author points out that the scientific vitalist argument lacks support and that it draws its justification not from knowledge or observations but from our present day lack of knowledge.
Since the activation energy of a covalent bond is high the reaction will have a slower speed than that of a non-covalent bond which occurs spontaneously and rapidly. About two minutes after adding a galactoside inducer the rate of synthesis of the three proteins increases a thousandfold.
According to the in troduction the book’s title was inspired by a line attributed to Democritus, “Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.
