Abstract
This contribution gives a brief overview of the Dynamic Kinetic Stability (DKS) concept. The concept appears to offer new insights into the central questions of biology – what is life, how it emerged, how would one make it, as well as explaining in basic physicochemical terms the truly remarkable characteristics that life so clearly manifests.
Keywords: Thermodynamic stability, Dynamic kinetic stability, Teleonomy, Purpose, Abiogenesis, Darwinian theory, Evolution, Origin of life.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
