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

Abstract

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.
