Quantum Processes of Life
Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman
Biology of life relies on underlying mechanisms active at the biomolecular level. Most of them are dictated by physical laws and principles. Classical physics principles work behind gross-scale bioprocesses, while in single biomolecular phenomena, inter-biomolecular interactions, etc., there is a considerable amount of quantum mechanical phenomena active. Standard quantum mechanics interpretations may be utilized to pinpoint hidden mechanisms as well as to understand underlying principles leading to the creation of the gross structural integrity of biological systems. Slow structural alterations causing regulation of functional moieties, hence raising mutations, may also be understood using quantum mechanics principles. This chapter is dedicated to addressing most of the quantum mechanical aspects of biological life using standard approaches that may generally explain quantum phenomena in biological phases.
