VIBRATIONAL SMELL THEORY. "The most striking instance is that of pure acetophenone and its fully deuterated analogue acetophenone-d, which smell different despite being identical in structure. This fact cannot, it seems, be explained by structure-based theories of odour." http://chemse.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/6/773 View in LinkedIn

ODOR VIBRATIONS. "A novel theory of primary olfactory reception is described. It proposes that olfactory receptors respond not to the shape of the molecules but to their vibrations. It differs from previous vibrational theories in providing a detailed and plausible mechanism for biological transduction of molecular vibrations: inelastic electron tunnelling." https://lnkd.in/eua_6Ks View in LinkedIn

BACTERIORHODOPSIN for sight restoration. "Protein-based retinal implants. BR has remained at the forefront of protein-based device development for the past several decades, however, this trend has only recently permeated into the field of biomedical devices and prosthetics." https://lnkd.in/eqeu6na View in LinkedIn

NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS of bacteriorhodopsin "one of the most rigorously investigated biomaterial for use in electronic applications, culminating in the development of numerous prototypes of devices that include Fourier-transform holographic associative processors, three-dimensional optical memories, biosensors, photovoltaic cells and protein-based retinal prostheses." https://lnkd.in/eqeu6na View in LinkedIn

BACTERIORHODOPSIN. "The photochemistry of BR, the architectural scheme, and the nanoscale feature size facilitate a unique potential to write, read and erase data with high speed and a high storage capacity." https://lnkd.in/eqeu6na View in LinkedIn

RHO-COMPUTING. "Shortly following the discovery of BR by Oesterhelt and Stoeckenius in 1971, Soviet scientists first recognized the potential of using this photoactive material in protein-based computing and processing applications." https://lnkd.in/eqeu6na View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM RESPONSIVE DEVICES. "It is envisaged that pathological retinal photorececeptors may exhibit distinctive quantum signatures that could be exploited by novel diagnostic devices." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM MITOCHONDRIAL REACTIONS. "The redox reactions take place in a series of protein complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane known as the electron transport chain. Recently, it has been demonstrated that electrons are transferred in Complex 1 by quantum tunnelling." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

"THE RETINA has prodigious energy demands. In the presence of oxygen, most of the cellular energy requirements are produced by oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation involves a series of redox reactions where electrons are transferred to oxygen, releasing energy that is used to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP)." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn
