Theoretical Considerations of Novel Nanocarbon Onion‐like Fullerene Material (NOLF) in Mitochondrial Quantum Processes, Mediation of Disruptive Perturbation, and Maintenance of Intracellular Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract

Medical research into fullerenes, though still currently in its early phases of discovery, has revealed novel applications due to their unique characteristics and compatibility with living cells. This has produced some exciting and potentially promising medical applications. Research supports evidence of enhanced ROS protection, anti‐inflammatory action, HIV protease inhibition, mitochondrial SOD mimetic, and possible longevity benefits among other uses. Fullerenes are increasingly being modified or functionalized as transporter molecules, phototherapy agents, and even considered for primary treatment options in a wide array of diseases, including cancer. However, there is much we don't know. The six‐carbon aromatic ring is among the most electrodynamically stable carbon structures and essential to the known biochemistry of life due to dense pi cloud properties. All fullerenes are composed largely of aromatic six carbon rings. Nanocarbon onion‐like fullerene material (NOLF) all have the basic structure C60n2 and derive most of their electrodynamic properties from their outer two shells. This creates a very large and diffuse but dense pi cloud that seems to share C60s biological compatibility and benefits but potentially offers more due to multi‐shell electrodynamics, diamagnetism, and increased capacitance characteristics. These mechanisms help explain how NOLF assists mitochondria to resist disruptive perturbations and restore homeostasis in disease states as well as maintain and regulate it in health. With interest increasing in the cellular electrodynamics, ultra‐weak photonic emission, electromagnetic resonance, and the role of the quantum cell in health and disease; the electrodynamic properties of NOLF and observed biological effects merit greater attention. We present a theoretical basis, derived from current research, for the influence of NOLF in the enhancement of mitochondrial quantum processes, mediation of disruptive perturbation, and assistance in maintenance of intracellular quantum electrodynamics in chronic degenerative disease and cancer, and suggest future research to investigate these proposed quantum effects in mitochondria and cells.Support or Funding InformationSupport from Institutional ResolurcesThis abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
