Self-assembling... - Tradução em português

Hey fellas,

Estou fazendo um trabalho de bioquímica e, para algumas questões, não encontrei nenhum conteúdo bom o suficiente em português. Daí tive que recorrer ao inglês.
A pergunta era sobre os princípios da lógica molecular da vida, e encontrei um ótimo conteúdo, mas, como vocês devem saber, algumas palavras são complicadas de traduzir.
Aqui está todo o material, mas gostaria de ajuda somente nas palavras em destaque:

A living cell is a self contained, self assembling, self adjusting, self perpetuating isothermal system of molecules that extracts free energy and raw materials from its environment.

The cell carries out many consecutive reactions promoted by specific catalysts, called enzymes, which it produces itself.

The cell maintains itself in a dynamic steady state, far from equilibrium with its surroundings. There is great economy of parts and processes, achieved by regulation of the catalytic activity of key enzymes.

Self replication through many generations is ensured by the self repairing, linear information-coding system. Genetic information encoded as sequences of nucleotide subunits in DNA and RNA specifies the sequence of amino acids in each distinct protein, which ultimately determines the three-dimensional structure and function of each protein.

Many weak (noncovalent) interactions, acting cooperatively, stabilize the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules and supramolecular complexes.
