Synthetic biology was founded as a biophysical discipline that sought
explanations for the origins of life from chemical and physical first principles.
Modern synthetic biology has been reinvented as an engineering discipline to
design new organisms as well as to better understand fundamental biological
mechanisms. However, success is still largely limited to the laboratory and
transformative applications of synthetic biology are still in their infancy.
Here, we review six principles of living systems and how they compare and
contrast with engineered systems. We cite specific examples from the synthetic
biology literature that illustrate these principles and speculate on their
implications for further study. To fully realize the promise of synthetic
biology, we must be aware of life's unique properties.
