The living state and cancer

A Szent-Györgyi. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

Complex living structures developed on our globe after the appearance of light and oxygen. In functions of these structures, solid state phenomena play a major role. The structural proteins were made into radicals by doping, the covalent incorporation of electron acceptors. This lent mobility to their electrons and a subtle reactivity to their molecules. Cancer is unable to go into the radical state.
