Abstract
Two recent investigations are reviewed: quantum effects for DNA aggregates and scars formation on virus capsids. The possibility that scars could explain certain data recently obtained by Sundquist's group in electron cryotomography of immature HIV-1 virions is also briefly addressed.
Furthermore, a bottom-up reflection is presented on the need to invent new physics to pave the way to a rigorous physical theory of biological phenomena. Our experience in the two researches presented here and our personal interpretation of Schrödinger's vision are behind the latter request.
