We do know some of these things.
Brains don't store "knowledge" like SSDs by capturing discrete electrons then poking them to read the stored data. Brains encode data physically as the arrangement of synapses between neurons. Brain's aren't just electrical—they are electrochemical.
Important point: knowledge/memory is stored as synapse configurations, not by shoving information inside neurons themselves.
As for suggesting "bizarre quaternary structure of DNA to store the memory ..." that's probably more for wishful new age crystal healing websites than anything based in reality.
