Why Genetic Information Processing could have a Quantum Basis | | Apoorva Patel
; | | Date: |
1 May 2001 | | Journal: | Journal of Biosciences 26 (2001) 145-151 | | Subject: | Quantum Physics; Biological Physics; Genomics | quant-ph physics.bio-ph q-bio.GN | | Affiliation: | CTS and SERC, IISc, Bangalore | | Abstract: | Living organisms are not just random collections of organic molecules. There is continuous information processing going on in the apparent bouncing around of molecules of life. Optimisation criteria in this information processing can be searched for using the laws of physics. Quantum dynamics can explain why living organisms have 4 nucleotide bases and 20 amino acids, as optimal solutions of the molecular assembly process. Experiments should be able to tell whether evolution indeed took advantage of quantum dynamics or not. | | Source: | arXiv, quant-ph/0105001 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
