Morphology and high frequency bio-electric fields

Johann Summhammer

We investigate possible shapes of the electric field, which oscillating dipoles in a certain region of biological tissue can produce in a neighboring region, or outside the tissue…

Forces from Lipids and Ionic Diffusion: Probing lateral membrane effects by an optimized filter region of voltage dependent K+ channels

Johann Summhammer, Georg Sulyok, Gustav Bernroider +1

We investigate the possible influence of poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the lipid bilayer of cell membranes on the conduction properties of the selectivity filter of volta…

Telekinetic Entanglement

Johann Summhammer

A numerical thought experiment with two momentum correlated particles is presented, in which particle A passes through a series of zig-zagging slits and particle B moves unobstruct…

Photon exchange and entanglement formation during the transmission through a rectangular quantum barrier

Georg Sulyok, Katharina Durstberger-Rennhofer, Johann Summhammer

When a quantum particle traverses a rectangular potential created by a quantum field both photon exchange and entanglement between particle and field take place. We present analyti…

A Quantum-mechanical description of ion motion within the confining potentials of voltage gated ion channels

Johann Summhammer, Vahid Salari, Gustav Bernroider

Voltage gated channel proteins cooperate in the transmission of membrane potentials between nerve cells. With the recent progress in atomic-scaled biological chemistry it has now b…

Quantum entanglement in the voltage dependent sodium channel can reproduce the salient features of neuronal action potential initiation

Johann Summhammer, Gustav Bernroider

We investigate the effects of a quantum entanglement regime within an ion conducting molecule (ion channel) of the neuronal plasma membrane on the onset dynamics of propagating ner…
