Enzymatic action Biochemical transformation of a molecule (that is enzymatic action, biological oxidation) takes place as a result of vectorial change of the electric field of tissues and cells (79-84). The role of the enzvmes is not accepted in the theory (87, 106- 108, 111). The protein molecule associates the substrate and shortens. Due to the shortening its dipole moment diminishes, that is it lends energy to the substrate. This energy promotes the transformation of the substrate. The energy deliberated from the transformed substrate almost completely regenerates the original length and dipole moment of the protein (222-226). The SDecificitv of the enzymes is not accepted in the theory (220). 6. Excitability Some tissue components are forming consecutive microscopic condensers in the nerve or in the muscle (16-24, 40). The dielectric isolation between the lamellas of this condenser may become conductive for a short time (35). Excitation does not spread by trans-mission of electrons as in the electric current, but bv consecutive discharge of the elements of this condenser series (20-35, 75). Action (or injure) potential is explained (in the nerve or muscle) bv consecutive and transitional deformation of series of the Drótéin molecules, which provisionally alters their dipole moment, and as a result their potential energy (194, 312-317). 7. The difference of living from the non living The transport of materials across the membrane of the living cell may take place against the forces of the diffusion too, that is the living cell is selecting. The organisation controls all factors according to its requirement (113 -114) The living system always and in its entirety works for the maintaining and caring of its working caDacitv (133-134). On behalf of the preserving its working power - when it is necessary - it may reorganise the internal conditions its activity (135). Let us compare Keller’s idea with Bauer’s one {Table). Keller’s book was not a theoretical biology yet, but only an attempt to verify the biological role of a single physical phenomenon - the electricity - by morphological methods (Keller 1918). On the other hand Bauer’s concept - detailed 17 years later - was a theoretical biology on the highest level of abstraction (see 7th row of the Table). All the same if we set the two authors’ conclusions side by side the
