PCCP are pleased to anounce that the Quantum Coherence Effects in Biological Processes themed issue is now online. This issue includes contributions from both experimental and computational scientists working at the forefront of biological systems that require “non-trivial” quantum mechanics. The guest editors are Aurélien de la Lande (CNRS), Vicent Moliner (Jaume I University) and Dennis Salahub (University of Calgary).
Read the Editorial and here a selection of some of the high quality articles though you can access the access the full collection online.
