DNA and quantum theory

Mehdi Mirzaee, Milad Falahat chian

Molecules are the basis of life. They can be considered as a quantum system. So it is necessary to enter quantum mechanics in biological discussions. In this paper we consider the DNA molecule as a quantum system. We discuss the relation between heredity, biology and DNA and quantum systems. We also find a relation between the quantum information and some bio-processes such as cell division, heredity, and cloning. Finally we conclude that in cell division, DNA-replication and cloning all information in DNA are different.

Some Properties DNA from the Point of View the Quantum Information

Mehdi Mirzaee, Milad Falahat chian

Molecules are the basis of life. They can consider as a quantum system. So it is necessary to enter quantum mechanics in biological discussion. Specifically, we should expect the quantum to be the basis for heredity, genetic, biology and DNA. In this paper we consider the DNA molecules as a quantum system. We discuss about the relation between the heredity, biology and DNA and quantum systems. We also claim that there is a relation between the quantum information and some biologicaly-process such as cell division, cloning so that we think that the root of all problems in cloning may be in the quantum effects.
