The OoL has traditionally been interpreted mainly as a problem in chemistry. While this may be a partial viewpoint, it goes without saying that chemistry is extremely important to understand life and how it emerged. Chemistry has become in principle a kind of “applied physics”, since the properties of atoms and molecules have been elucidated based on quantum mechanics. However, when large molecules are considered, there is little hope to derive their properties from the Schrödinger equation. Therefore, chemistry is still, to a large extent, an autonomous discipline, although of course coherent with quantum mechanics. This is particularly true in the case of “organic chemistry”, an old term which survives, although the achievements of the last centuries have also made it crystal clear that the laws of “organic chemistry” are the same as those which rule the behavior of the other chemicals.
