Limited role of quantum dynamics in biomolecular function

Here are the slides for the talk I am giving this afternoon at Condensed Phase Dynamics workshop in Telluride. It is largely based on work done with my former students Joel Gilmore and Jacques Bothma which was published in two papers:

Quantum Dynamics of Electronic Excitations in Biomolecular Chromophores: Role of the Protein Environment and Solvent

The role of quantum effects in proton transfer reactions in enzymes: quantum tunneling in a noisy environment?
