Abstract
Quantum coherence in the biological realm is constructed internally in a bottom-up manner. In particular, an actin filament sliding on myosin molecules in the presence of ATP to be hydrolyzed as a functional unit of muscle contraction exhibits magnetization as a marker of quantum coherence. The uniqueness of quantum coherence in biology is found in precipitating synchronous time in interaction from the interacting energy quanta, each of which has carried with itself synchronous time unique to the quantum in isolation. It exhibits a marked contrast to quantum coherence met in low temperature physics, in the latter of which no transformation of the nature of synchronous time is entertained.
