    Hi

    WOW! This could be the biggest discovery in biology yet -
    proteins and DNA could be quantum computers...

    Here's the abstract of a technical article on this
    possibility...

    And the New Scientist popular article

    http://www.newscientist.com/features/features_22341.html

    What this might mean is that DNA and proteins might be
    able to "look ahead" and search through
    potentially beneficial mutations.
