Key Points

To evaluate whether tryptophan mega-networks within microtubule tubulin lattices exhibit quantum coherence and superradiant optical emission.
Modeled exciton coupling dynamics and quantum beat frequencies across tubulin alpha-beta heterodimers arranged in 13-protofilament lattices.
Calculated optical scaling properties based on tryptophan absorption (~280 nm) and emission (~340 nm) spectra alongside millielectronvolt-scale exciton coupling.
Identified theoretical conditions under which tryptophan networks produce superradiant emission scaling quadratically (N²) rather than linearly (N) with emitter count.
Mapped structural lattice dimensions, showing dimer length (8 nm) and helical pitch (3 nm) configurations that align with geometric golden ratio proportions.
