Quantum oscillations of π electron cloud dipoles in the DNA double helix are modeled.
Coherent zero-point modes in DNA for endonuclease recognition sequences are calculated.
Energies for 6- and 8-bp sequences are finely tuned for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
Quantum-entangled states in DNA, shielded from decoherence by clamped enzymes, may synchronize DSBs for efficiency.
Palindromic DNA sequences may serve as hallmarks for quantum coherent energy transfer.
