Title

Density of states and EINS of protonated and deuterated GFP in view of an analysis including quantum effects

Abstract

There is a growing number of indications that quantum mechanics might play a role for the functioning of certain biomolecules and within living cells, as for instance through tunnelling effects or quantum entanglement. However, not much is reported in the literature about experimental evidence, certainly because not much is known about their identification. As quantum effects depend on the mass of the scatterer, their signature should be detectable when comparing a protonated protein with its per-deuterated counterpart. We propose therefore to study Green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the two versions by recording the density of states at low temperature over a broad energy domain to permit data analysis within a newly developed approach taking into account quantum effects [1].
