DNA = Quantum Computers?

Some 2010 papers on that...

DNA Replication via Entanglement Swapping

The relevance of continuous variable entanglement in DNA

Enol Tautomers of Watson-Crick Base Pair Models Are Metastable Because of Nuclear Quantum Effect

EDIT - fixed title of third paper

Interesting papers; thanks for the links!

However, I'm not sure what they have to do with quantum computers. They describe how quantum effects may be important in base pairing, replication, & duplex stability. I don't see the relevance to quantum computing, other than perhaps "computing" which bases should pair with one another.
