Abstract
In the present work, the quantum relaxation processes in the microtubule dipole system are studied. The study is conducted in the Markovian and non-Markovian models. The research is based on the numerical simulation of the nonlinear system of differential equations. The detailed derivation of the non-Markovian analytical expressions has been made. The nonlinear character of the quantum relaxation processes has been established. It is shown that the quantum dynamics of the dipole moments has a different - ambivalent nature and depends on the critical values of the environmental factors such as: microtubule length, microtubule anisotropy, temperature. It is established that the dynamics in the non-Markovian model differs markedly from the Markovian one at a small temperature and at small relaxation time values.
期刊介绍:
BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
