Tautomeric mutation: A quantum spin modelling
arXiv:cond-mat/0612313 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/79/18005
Abstract
A quantum spin model representing tautomeric mutation is proposed for any DNA molecule. Based on this model, the quantum mechanical calculations for mutational rate and complementarity restoring repair rate in the replication processes are carried out. A possible application to a real biological system is discussed.
