Biophysical questions are presented in a language comprehensive both to physicists who do not know biology, and to biologists who do not have a complete up-to-date mathematical knowledge for quantum mechanics. An elementary description of the interaction of atoms of molecules and their interaction with water precedes an account of basic biological phenomena. The author also describes in detail the molecular mechanism of muscle contraction in animals based on his hypothesis of the role of solutions in the conversion of chemical energy into mechanical movement
