Abstract
SCHRODINGER'S book ''What is life?'' was highly influential on the gen eration of post war scientists in the late 1940ies. It, however, not o nly suggested a particular line of research but marked out a particula r way to deal with the essential questions of biology. Hereby, SCHRODI NGER focussed interests on genetics. Up to now, a detailed discussion of the implications of his theoretical framework for molecular biology is missing.
