Why is life so exact?
Abstract
This is my attempt to answer Schr\"odinger's question: "What is Life?". In living cell the local combination of atoms is reproduced with incredible accuracy. In the case of protein biosynthesis the notion of the physical aspect of the process can be qualitatively enriched by taking into account the symmetry of conformational oscillations. This is the key to understand the selectivity in biochemistry.
