It is shown that an underlying operator algebra facilitates the formulation of the conjugate relationship between energy-time and momentum-space, and implications from augmented general dilation analytic operator families provide novel information-based representations and yield a thermo-qubit syntax for communication, which are required to support the quantum Darwinian view of life.

There were no significant differences in terms of the secondary structure between synthetic and recombinant glucagon products both at the release and at the expiry and this was consistent with the 2D NOESY analysis.
The presented results show that fast decoherence timescales could assist cognitive binding through quantum entanglement across extensive neural networks in the brain cortex, and show that quantum coherence of individual subsystems cannot be used for cognitive binding because it is a physical mechanism that leads to separability and non-interaction.

Davydov and Kislukha1 suggested in the 1970’s that nonlinear self-trapping could serve as a method of energy transport along quasi-one-dimensional chains of molecules. The problem was to explain how

The role of proton tunnelling in biological catalysis is investigated here within the frameworks of quantum information theory and thermodynamics and it is found that in this scenario the enzyme lowers the activation energy so much that there is no energy barrier left in the tautomerization, even if the quantum correlations quickly decay.

Hydrogen bonds are weak, generally intermolecular bonds, which hold much of soft matter together as well as the condensed phases of water, network liquids, and many ferroelectric crystals. The small
