Portal:Quantum biology

This topic page is for organizing the development of Quantum biology content on Wikiversity. Quantum biology is the application and formulation of quantum theories to biological processes, such as: photosynthesis, nerve excitation and conduction, quantum aspects of muscle contraction, solitons in biopoloymer crystals such as A-DNA, protein-protein interactions, and so on.

If you either have peer-reviewed publications or are knowledgeable in any area Quantum biology, please feel free to improve the contents of this new Wikipedia topic page; your contributions would be greatly appreciated.
