The concept of order and disorder as complementary in the quantum-mechanical sense is presented. Negative entropy is introduced as a measure of the order of the system under study--namely, the DNA chain--and temperature as a measure of its disorder. A Heisenberg-like uncertainty relationship for order and disorder phenomena is derived. The concept of quasi-equilibrium is introduced because living matter is peculiar in that under physiological conditions there is no equilibrium in the strict sense. A new approach for DNA activity is suggested in terms of local or general disorder of the chain.
提出了量子力学意义上秩序与无序互补的概念。引入负熵作为所研究系统——即DNA链——的秩序度量，引入温度作为其无序度量。推导了一种类似于海森堡不确定性关系的秩序与无序现象关系。引入准平衡概念是因为生物物质具有特殊性，即在生理条件下不存在严格意义上的平衡。从链的局部或整体无序角度提出了一种研究DNA活性的新方法。
