Key Points

To determine whether tryptophan arrays arranged in microtubule lattices can support quantum coherence and collective superradiant ultraviolet emission.
Evaluated quantum electrodynamic superradiance scaling where emission rate scales quadratically (N²) relative to incoherent emission (N).
Calculated exciton coupling energies on the meV scale using geometric parameters of αβ-heterodimer tubulin lattices with 13-protofilament architecture.
Identified conditions for collective tryptophan exciton states with characteristic absorption at ~280 nm and emission at ~340 nm.
Demonstrated theoretical superradiant light emission scaling with N² coherent emitters along helical microtubule lattice structures.
