摘要: The mechanism of selectivity in ion channels is still an open question biology for more than half a century. Here, we suggest that quantum interference can be solution to explain the since happens between similar ions through same size channels. In this paper, simulate two neighboring on cell membrane with famous double-slit experiment physics investigate whether there any possibility matter-wave via movement Our obtained decoherence timescales indicate states only survive short times, i.e. ≈100 picoseconds each channel and ≈17-53 outside channels, giving result seems unlikely due environmental decoherence. However, discuss our results raise few points, which increase interference.
