I am far from convinced that Penrose is correct in identifying the
tubulin within microtubules as a location for quantum coherence.
A couple of more promising starting points are the water that you find
adjacent to charged surfaces such as microtubules or more particularly
DNA. And there is something very odd going on with the triple helix
(DNA-DNA-RNA) form of DNA which is found in the nucleus.

Fifteen years ago I visited someone at Daresbury in the UK to talk about
coherent vibrations in living organisms. One of the things that he was
working on was the light harvesting complexes in bacteria, and he said
at the time that he felt that that was where we were most likely to find
quantum coherence in biological systems. Looks like he was right.
