Hang on - proteins folding "unpredictably" as per a prion is not evidence of solving of NP completeness in that "problem". Also, while prions might do that, it's not clear to me that there is much evidence that their folding is "unpredictable" in any rigorous way. Can you cite a reference?
- Cybiote 10y agoYea, I'm saying prions show that nature is not solving NP-complete problems. What we have instead is that a class of well behaved proteins were selected for but there can still be problematic instances.
