## TL;DR

This paper explores experimental methods to test quantum properties in protein folding processes.

## Contribution

It introduces new experimental approaches to investigate quantum effects in protein folding.

## Key findings

- Protein structural changes were observed on a microsecond time scale.
- Non-Arrhenius temperature dependence was tested in protein folding rates.
- Narrow spectral lines in protein photo-folding were investigated.

## Abstract

Experimental tests on the quantum property of protein folding are discussed. It includes: the test of the instantaneousness of torsion transition through observation of protein structural change in a short time scale of microsecond; the test of non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of protein folding rate and other biomolecular conformational changes; and the search for the narrow spectral lines of the protein photo-folding.
