Quantum Biology

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Quantum biology seeks to investigate the life sciences[1] in terms of quantum theory. This includes attempts to study biological processes and dynamic molecular structures in terms of quantum mechanics (QM). For example, investigations of dynamic molecular structure and energy transfer at the quantum level have credibility if they explain macroscopic biological observables that otherwise are inexplicable. Quantum biochemistry and quantum studies of photosynthetic processes/photosynthesis have produced significant, verifiable results. In particular the step-wise, quantum release of protons upon photon absorption linked to water ''splitting'' in photosynthesis requires a quantum theoretical explanation involving complex photosystem II.
