Here is the link to the on-line paper your linked announcement mentioned. It includes…

Table 4 shows the distribution of peptide substrates with regard to the molecular functions of their source proteins… These data suggest that the phosphorylation events of this minimal phosphoproteome are associated with cell homeostasis; DNA replication, organisation, and stability; RNA translation; cytoskeletal organisation; motility; transmembrane ion transport; and signal transduction.

I have picked up enough understanding to recognize how quantum mechanics plays a key role in each item on the author's list, especially "cytoskeletal organisation" (microtubules).

Here is something from a paper titled…
Modulation of a Metabolic Network by Cytoskeletal Organisation and Dynamics

Cytoskeletal dynamics play an essential role in sensing and responding to osmotic stress. It is likely that the spatial organisation and orientation of cytoskeletal proteins are modulating gene expression, signal transduction, and metabolic fluxes. Microtubules, actin microfilaments, and intermediate filaments represent a large surface area in the cell (estimated to be 3000 micrometres square per mammalian cell). This large surface area provides an interface for enzyme and other protein binding.

It's too bad that it looks like we are heading towards a post, post Wedge World where this kind of stuff isn't consistent with the "our philosophy is under attack so we must defend it" meme.

Maybe we will get lucky this time and the dark ages won't last 1000 years and be isolated to only one country.
