Fenna-Mathew-Olson complexes in Quantum Biology: a concise roadmap for the analysis
Abstract
Biological systems are currently analysed from deeper approaches considering not only their chemical features but also their quantum ones. Such elusive features sometimes account for specific phenomena related to their evolution and survival. Green sulphur bacteria are very simple microorganisms performing a highly photosynthetic process to survive. The Fenna-Mathew-Olson (FMO) complex is a macro-molecule responsible for such efficiency exhibiting interesting quantum features. Post-experimental biology together with Physics able the possibility to research and analyse them. In the current work, a synthetic roadmap for the FMO simulation is presented with comprehensive literature. The density matrix evolution is obtained to then discuss other derived features such as coherence, entanglement, state transference, and energy transmission efficiency.
