You will get better and mor helpful answers if you will tell us where you got lost. We can help you over any hard spots, but only if we know where they are.

Firstly thank you for your answer.
secondly, I am trying to apply the ideas in this paper to my thesis.
I am actually trying to meet someone who is quite knowledgeable in this area. Because I am a chemical engineering student at UNSW Sydney.
 
The efficiency of the energy transfers requires quantum theory to explain it.

Hardly surprizing - at the scale of DNA alleles(0.3nm) quantum effects should be ubiquitous. A single allele mutation can cause cancer if not corrected by polymerase. Neither strong determinism nor quantum indeterminism make any sense to me in this scenario.

PS. Do some(all?) cancers arise Schroedinger's cat style? 🤔
