Electronic Energy Migration in Microtubules
Aarat P. Kalra, Alfy Benny, Sophie M. Travis +10
The repeating arrangement of tubulin dimers confers great mechanical strength to microtubules, which are used as scaffolds for intracellular macromolecular transport in cells and e…
On the existence of superradiant excitonic states in microtubules
G. L. Celardo, M. Angeli, P. Kurian +1
Microtubules are biological protein polymers with critical and diverse functions. Their structures share some similarities with photosynthetic antenna complexes, particularly in th…
Water Bridging Dynamics of Polymerase Chain Reaction in the Gauge Theory Paradigm of Quantum Fields
Luc Montagnier, Jamal Aïssa, Antonio Capolupo +7
We discuss the role of water bridging the DNA-enzyme interaction by resorting to recent results showing that London dispersion forces between delocalized electrons of base pairs of…
Oxidative species-induced excitonic transport in tubulin aromatic networks: Potential implications for neurodegenerative disease
P. Kurian, T. O. Obisesan, T. J. A. Craddock
Oxidative stress is a pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative tauopathic disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease-related dementia, which are characterized…
Water-mediated correlations in DNA-enzyme interactions
P. Kurian, A. Capolupo, T. J. A. Craddock +1
In this paper we consider dipole-mediated correlations between DNA and enzymes in the context of their water environment. Such correlations emerge from electric dipole-dipole inter…
The Feasibility of Coherent Energy Transfer in Microtubules
Travis John Adrian Craddock, Douglas Friesen, Jonathan Mane +2
It was once purported that biological systems were far too warm and wet to support quantum phenomena mainly due to thermal effects disrupting quantum coherence. However recent expe…
