Quantum tunneling allows particles to pass through energy barriers that would be impossible to cross classically. This phenomenon is crucial in enzyme catalysis and electron transfer in proteins.
Understanding Quantum Biology
Quantum biology is an emerging field that explores quantum phenomena occurring in biological systems. These visualizations demonstrate two key quantum effects:
Protein Folding
Quantum tunneling may play a role in how proteins fold into their functional 3D structures. The animation shows quantum coherence events (glowing highlights) that could influence the folding pathway.
Quantum Tunneling
In enzyme catalysis, protons and electrons can tunnel through energy barriers, enabling reactions that would be impossible classically. This effect is crucial for many biological processes.
