FROM SUN ENERGY TO ATP. "All energy on earth originates from the sun. The energy released in photosynthesis and cell respiration initiates a stream of positively charged hydrogen ions. These hydrogen ions, in turn, drive the production of ATP with the aid of a membrane-bound enzyme called ATP synthase." https://lnkd.in/e2Q2XzK View in LinkedIn

DARWINIAN COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. "If non-trivial quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement can enhance the efficiency of some biological processes, then one might expect life to have evolved to exploit it." https://lnkd.in/e2T5qPj View in LinkedIn

NANO MOTORS. "Only with nanosized machines can one perform such an operation to minimize irreversible heat within a finite-time. This highlights the remarkable property of nanosized engines." https://lnkd.in/eYcwEF7 View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM BIOLOGY. "There is a huge risk that we may be heading in the wrong direction...But my hunch tells me this is worth it because if we succeed, the payoff will be massive: We will have pioneered a new discipline.” https://lnkd.in/eZRVkpn View in LinkedIn

MACRO MOTORS. "Macroscopic engines operated at a finite rate inevitably generate turbulence, and additional energy dissipates through microscopic degrees of freedom as irreversible heat." https://lnkd.in/eYcwEF7 View in LinkedIn

SYNCHRONIZING COMPLEXITY. "There are approximately 3 x 10(4) ATP production events per mitochondrion per second, which multiplied by the number of cells provide an enormous living chemical reactor whose entire harmony is simply fantastic." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

MINTING MACHINE. "The F1-motor converts the mechanical work transferred from the c-ring to the chemical free energy of ATP synthesis from ADP. Approximately 95% of cellular ATP is synthesized by this rotary mechanochemical transduction." https://lnkd.in/eYcwEF7 View in LinkedIn

BIOCOMPUTING. "Interactive (i.e. non-algorithmic and non-functional) massive parallel processing as well as multilevel simultaneous processing is carried out in and by the living beings and helps understanding and define life." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

ATP SYNTHESIS. "This mechanical-to-chemical free-energy transduction is the final and central step of the multistep cellular ATP-synthetic pathway." https://lnkd.in/eYcwEF7 View in LinkedIn

BIOCOMPUTING. "The computation carried out by the cell and, more generally, a living organism, has been called as biological hypercomputation." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn
