Abstract

Two recent investigations are reviewed: quantum effects for DNA aggregatesand scars formation on virus capsids. The possibility that scars could explaincertain data recently obtained by Sundquist's group in electron cryotomographyof immature HIV-1 virions is also briefly addressed. Furthermore, a bottom-upreflection is presented on the need to invent new physics to pave the way to arigorous physical theory of biological phenomena. Our experience in the tworesearches presented here and our personal interpretation of Schroedinger'svision are behind the latter request.
