Abstract

The paper investigates the mechanism of quantum relaxation in a microtubule tryptophan chain on the basis of the Born–Markov formalism. The tryptophans are considered as a system of interacting electric dipoles. Each dipole is represented as a two-level pseudo-spin system. Decoherence and dissipation processes have been investigated. The tunneling effect impact on quantum relaxation time has been considered. Decoherence time in relation to the environment impact has been obtained. Decoherence time dependence on temperature has been determined.
