FRAGMENT FROM NATURE. ATP is the indispensable energetic currency of the cell, and its story is a fascinating one. But without ATP synthase, a complicated enzyme, there would be no cellular ATP, no cellular energy, and thus, no life as we know it today. View in LinkedIn

"QUANTUM TUNNELING describes a phenomenon where a particle is able to pass from one state to another even though it is energetically forbidden to do so (a property that is routinely used in electronics)." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE this next couple of weekends will focus on the enzyme that makes ATP, namely, ATP synthase, and then on to ATP itself for a third weekend set. View in LinkedIn

DISCUSSION OF QM by three great thinkers, Seth Lloyd (MIT), Thorsten Ritz (UC Irvine), and Paul Davies (Arizona State) with moderator John Hockenberry (PBS Frontline). "QM suggests that objects can act across time and space with no apparent connection" and other "quantum hanky-panky". https://lnkd.in/epjPsqX View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY. "Quantum coherences, entanglement, and other nonclassical effects have been heading toward systems of increasing complexity. The core here is information." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

"INFORMATION" is a theme that will keep emerging, and is not what you might think it means. https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

RUPTURE OF RAPTURE. "Quantum objects consist of/are fluctuations. It is precisely the unison of those fluctuations what defines a coherent state. The trouble about quantum theory lies in the transition or rupture of coherence to decoherence which leads from the quantum realm to the classical world." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

"LIFE ON THE EDGE, the coming of age of quantum biology. The great virtue of this book is its thesis – it sets out a clear and enthusiastic argument for the importance of quantum biology. The subtitle proclaims that quantum biology is coming of age. It can equally be argued that it is still taking its first steps." https://lnkd.in/eqA7Wi2 View in LinkedIn

PIONEERS. "For 15 years, theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili and molecular geneticist Johnjoe McFadden have been discussing how quantum physics, the science of the incredibly small, might affect biology." https://lnkd.in/eqA7Wi2 View in LinkedIn
