| Abstract: | Amino acid racemization is presented as an hypothesis for the cause of aging. Effects on important biomolecules resulting from changes in their three-dimensional conformations and resulting changes in activities and specificities are discussed. Aging is viewed as a natural process associated with attaining thermodynamic equilibrium. |
