Physical Principles Of Quantum Biology

This first-of-its-kind monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the field of quantum biology. Operating from first principles, the core quantum mechanical concepts of quantum biology are advanced to provide the theoretical foundation for this emerging field. Essential topics such as open quantum systems theory, biological electron and proton transfer, vibronic interactions, radical pair dynamics, enzyme photochemistry, ultraweak photon emissions, electrodynamic effects on cellular pro...
