Quantum effect at biological system

Biological processes are the series of events or molecular functions vital for a living organism to live. Studying biological processes helps scientists learn more about human health and the etiology of diseases, and paves the way towards personalized medicine. Analysis of biological processes has been mostly based on the Newtonian equation of motions. However, the Newtonian methods are unable to determine the mechanisms of biological cells and biological networks, particularly, they fail to explain how biological systems interact with the environment.Quantum mechanics, the physics of the microscopic worlds, has profound capabilities in explaining biological processes. In addition, biological processes are usually highly nonlinear, and therefore, chaos theory can be applied to model the nonlinear behaviors in these processes. The combination of chaos theory and quantum mechanics provide a unique opportunity to investigate biological systems at the edge of chaos, the region between order and disorder.In the present work, we aim to study coherence - decoherence occurrence in biological systems, a symmetry breaking process at the edge of chaos [1].
