Quanta in biological systems

Parallel development of physical and biological sciences in the scond half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries is reviewed. It is illustrated how the discovery of quantum mechanics influenced the discoveries of the protein and nucleic acid structures. Harvesting the energy of electromagnetic radiation and its transduction into chemical energy in the photosynthetic centers is a typical quantum phenomenon.

quanta in proteins, quanta in DNA, quanta in biological energy transduction
