There's a book called Life on the Edge, by Johnjoe McFadden, that's about quantum biology. In one part he talks about evidence that the sodium pumps in neurons are so incredibly efficient because they somehow induce the sodium atoms to travel as waves rather than particles through their structure. It's incredible stuff.
