OT: Protein folding...

[Anthony William Sloman]

Today\'s Proceedings of the (US) National Academy of Sciences starts with an interesting and accessible article on the recent successes in the use of artificial intelligence to predict protein structure from just their amino acid sequence. This has been mentioned here before but this is probably as good a review as you can get.

It might even be on-topic. Nerves use electronic signalling, so we may start doing molecular electronics.

Interesting! Thanks!

I wonder if it is the Magnetic Vector Potential doing the work of
shifting the phase:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aharonov%E2%80%93Bohm_effect

The Aharonov–Bohm effect, sometimes called the
Ehrenberg–Siday–Aharonov–Bohm effect, is a quantum mechanical
phenomenon in which an electrically charged particle is affected by an
electromagnetic potential (f, A), despite being confined to a region
in which both the magnetic field B and electric field E are zero.[1]
The underlying mechanism is the coupling of the electromagnetic
potential with the complex phase of a charged particle\'s wave
function, and the Aharonov–Bohm effect is accordingly illustrated by
interference experiments.

It\'s certainly interesting, but less likely to be of any commercial importance - at least for quite a while.

Another find of interest...
