QUANTUM PLASMONIC PCR FOR RAPID PRECISION IDENTIFICATION OF COVID-19
Abstract
This team will study the fundamental science of (1) quantum biological electron transfer to understand the mechanism of ultrafast quantum plasmonic PCR, and (2) quantum plasmon resonance electron transfer (QPRET)-based PCR for rRT-PCR and immuno-PCR on chip. These studies will generate broad ranging impact and innovative future applications in molecular diagnostics for COVID-19 and the precise identification of any other viruses or pathogens. With intimate collaboration between Prof. Luke Lee’s group at Harvard Medical School, USA, and Prof. Taewook Kang’s group at Sogang University, Korea, this team will focus on the elucidation of quantum biological heat engine, quantum biological tunneling in enzyme reactions, quantum effects in DNA and enzyme reactions during replication, and the investigation of a resonant electromagnetic wave to enhance enzyme activity.
