Surface plasmon resonance study of the actin-myosin sarcomeric complex and tubulin dimers
Hans A. Schuessler, Alexander A. Kolomenskii, Andreas Mershin +1
Biosensors based on the principle of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection were used to measure biomolecular interactions in sarcomeres and changes of the dielectric constant o…
Quantum Brain?
A. Mershin, D. V. Nanopoulos, E. M. C. Skoulakis
In order to create a novel model of memory and brain function, we focus our approach on the sub-molecular (electron), molecular (tubulin) and macromolecular (microtubule) component…
Ferroelectrics and their possible involvement in Biology
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos, I. Samaras +1
We present the main properties of ferroelectricity, with emphasis given to a specific family of hydrated ferroelectric crystals, which can serve as model systems for corresponding…
Quantum Mechanics in Cell Microtubules: Wild Imagination or Realistic Possibility?
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos
We focus on potential mechanisms for `energy-loss-free' transport along the cell microtubules, which could be considered as realizations of Fröhlich's ideas on the role of solitons…
On Quantum Mechanical Aspects of Microtubules
N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos
We discuss possible quantum mechanical aspects of MicroTubules (MT), based on recent developments in quantum physics.We focus on potential mechanisms for `energy-loss-free' transpo…
Vacuum Fluctuations and Decoherence in Mesoscopic and Microscopic Systems
John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos
We discuss recent experimental evidence of decoherence in a laboratory mesoscopic system in a cavity, from which we draw analogies with the decoherence that we argue is induced by…
