Abstract

Two un­re­sol­ved is­su­es of the (se­mi)clas­si­cally ad­dres­sed pro­blems in mo­le­cu­lar bi­ophysics are unre­a­so­nably long ti­me ne­ces­sary for chan­ge of bi­o­polymer con­for­ma­ti­ons and long-ran­ge directedness of se­lec­ti­ve bi­o­mo­le­cu­lar re­cog­ni­tion pro­ces­ses – implying the­ir es­sen­tial qu­an­tum origin. In this pa­per, se­ve­ral pos­si­ble qu­an­tum ap­pro­ac­hes to biomo­le­cu­lar re­cog­ni­tion are considered: The­ory of Non-Ra­di­a­ti­ve Re­so­nant Struc­tu­ral Tran­si­ti­ons, Mo­del of Qu­an­tum Decoheren­ce, and Re­so­nant Re­cog­ni­tion Mo­del. The­se appro­ac­hes might be of fun­da­men­tal importan­ce in un­der­stan­ding un­derlying mac­ro­sco­pic qu­an­tum-ho­lo­grap­hic Hop­fi­eld-li­ke con­trol mec­ha­nisms of morp­ho­ge­ne­sis, and the­ir backward in­flu­en­ce on the ex­pres­si­on of ge­nes, with signi­fi­cant po­ten­tial psycho­so­ma­tic im­pli­ca­ti­ons.

Keywords: Bi­o­mo­le­cu­lar Re­cog­ni­tion, Con­for­ma­ti­o­nal Tran­si­ti­ons, Qu­an­tum Bi­ophy­sics, Qu­an­tum Bi­o­in­for­ma­tics.
