Thomas Prevenslik is a retired American living in Hong Kong and Berlin. Because classical physics does not work at the nanoscale, he has developed the theory of

QED radiation based on quantum mechanics. He developed the simple theory of QED based on the Planck law of QM. Differing from the complex QED by Feynman

and others, simple QED assumes any heat absorbed at the nanoscale having high surface-to-volume ratios place interior atoms under high EM confi nement that

by the Planck law of QM precludes the atoms from having the heat capacity to conserve heat by an increase in temperature. In the instant topic of protein folding

and unfolding by quantum mechanics, the atoms may only conserve heat by creating EM radiation that by removing electrons by the photoelectric effect charges

the atoms positive inducing Coulomb repulsion that enhances unfolding. On a picosecond time scale, the electrons recombine with charged atoms to place the

protein under van der Waals attraction that fold the protein. Driven by heat, protein folding, and unfolding is the consequence of fl uctuations between QM induced

charge and neutral states.
