Abstract

The soliton model of charge and energy transport in biological macromolecules is used to suggest one of the possible mechanisms for electromagnetic radiation influence on biological systems. The influence of the electromagnetic field (EMF) on molecular solitons is studied both analytically and numerically. Numerical simulations prove the stability of solitons for fields of large amplitude, and allow the study of emission of phonons. It is shown that in the spectra of biological effects of radiation there are two characteristic frequencies of EMFs, one of which is connected with the most intensive energy absorption and emission of sound waves by the soliton, and the other of which is connected with the soliton photodissociation into a delocalized state.

Main findings

Using a soliton model of charge/energy transport in biological macromolecules, the authors analytically and numerically studied EMF influence on molecular solitons. Numerical simulations indicated soliton stability even for large-amplitude fields and enabled examination of phonon emission. The work reports two characteristic EMF frequencies: one associated with intensive energy absorption and sound-wave emission, and another associated with soliton photodissociation into a delocalized state.
