Necessity of quantum coherence to account for the spectrum of time-dependent mutations exhibited by bacteriophage T4.

Abstract excerpt

Transcriptase measurements of quantum expectations due to time-dependent coherent states populating informational DNA base-pair sites, designated by G-C --> *G-*C, G-C --> G'-C', and A-T --> *A-*T, provide a model for transcription and replication of time-dependent DNA lesions exhibited by bacteriophage T4. Coherent states are introduced as consequences of hydrogen bond arrangement, keto-amino --> enol-imine,...
