Nontrivial quantum and quantum-like effects in biosystems: Unsolved questions and paradoxes.

Progress in biophysics and molecular biology - 1 Nov 2015

Melkikh Alexey V, Khrennikov Andrei

Abstract excerpt

Non-trivial quantum effects in biological systems are analyzed. Some unresolved issues and paradoxes related to quantum effects (Levinthal's paradox, the paradox of speed, and mechanisms of evolution) are addressed. It is concluded that the existence of non-trivial quantum effects is necessary for the functioning of living systems. In particular, it is demonstrated that classical mechanics cannot explain the...
