Quantum Biology at the Cellular Level - elements of the research program

Michael Bordonaro, Vasily V. Ogryzko

Quantum Biology is emerging as a new field at the intersection between fundamental physics and biology, promising novel insights into the nature and origin of biological order. We discuss several elements of QBCL (Quantum Biology at Cellular Level), a research program designed to extend the reach of quantum concepts to higher than molecular levels of biological organization. Key words. decoherence, macroscopic superpositions, basis-dependence, formal superposition, non-classical correlations, Basis-Dependent Selection (BDS), synthetic biology, evolvability mechanism loophole.

Comment on Masanari Asano et al. A model of epigenetic evolution based on theory of open quantum systems. Syst Synth Biol, 2013

Vasily V. Ogryzko

The comment mostly concerns mis-representation of my position on Quantum Biology, by stating that I am 'reducing cell's behavior to quantum particles inside the cell'. I contrast my position with that of McFadden-Al-Khalili, as well as with the position of Asano et al. I also advertise an idea, described in our latest paper (Bordonaro, Ogryzko. Quantum Biology at the Cellular level - elements of the research program, BioSystems, 2013), for the need of synthetic biology in testing some predictions that follow from our approach.
