Quantum biology explores quantum effects in living organisms from "summary" of The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox,Jeff Forshaw
Quantum biology is a field that delves into the mysterious world of quantum effects within living organisms. At first glance, it may seem improbable that such effects could play a role in the workings of biological systems. After all, the rules of quantum mechanics appear to apply mainly to the subatomic realm, far removed from the macroscopic scale of living beings. However, recent research has revealed that quantum phenomena can indeed influence biological processes in unexpected ways.
One example of this influence is quantum tunneling, a phenomenon in which particles penetrate energy barriers that would be insurmountable according to classical physics. In the realm of biology, this can manifest as the ability of enzymes to catalyze reactions at rates far exceeding what would be expected based solely on classical principles. Quantum tunneling allows these enzymes to "cheat" the rules of classical mechanics, enabling them to perform their biological functions wi...
