In the citing paper
“The idea received a quantum twist from the Swedish physicist Per-Olov Löwdin, who proposed [32] that quantum tunnelling of protons could generate the tautomeric bases, thereby providing a physical mechanism for Schrödinger's speculation that random point mutations might have a quantum origin.”
From The origins of quantum biology (2018) · cites this paper as [32]
In the citing paper
“This enables studying the nonadiabatic effects of some systems, which are known to be important in DNA mutation [144] and the mechanism of many enzymes [145].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
