quantum mechanics in molecular biology

"Quantum mechanics in molecular biology" refers to the application of principles and mathematical models from quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that describes the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level, to study and understand fundamental processes and properties of molecules and biological systems. It involves analyzing quantum effects such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement to explore phenomena like electron transfer, reaction mechanisms, and protein folding, providing insights into the intricate workings of biological molecules and systems.
