I think it was just matter of calculating how fast a chemical reaction would sped up by and enzyme that uses quantum effects.
And the way it was done used heavy water because that would have fewer quantum jumps. And the reaction slowed down by exactly as much as the theory predicted. Thus confirming that enzymes most likely do make use of quantum teleporation.
But that's obviously not entanglement.

Also, there is a similar programming qn. Suppose you have a program P running on a machine Q, and the api for a machine C is implemented on Q, so that programs for C can be run on Q. How do we actually figure out if P is really a C program running on Q?
What I am trying to say is when someone says it works in a non-quantum viewpoint, they just mean you can approximate the first few decimal places without looking at QM. But, saying it works is not accurate.
I wonder about parts of it:
> Various scientists have pointed out that photosynthesis and bird navigation must rely on quantum effects ....
After looking at the 2 linked articles (links are just after the above sentence in this article), I would say the word "must" above is incorrect. In both of the linked articles, researchers are speculating on quantum effects in bird navigation & photosynthesis.
Also, it seems odd to talk about "rely[ing] on quantum effects". If quantum mechanics is the way the world works, then everything is a "quantum effect". It's not like the universe has quantum parts and classical parts (is it?).
EDIT: Let's make that a more serious question. Is it?
