Transduction of DNA information through water and electromagnetic waves

Abstract

The experimental conditions by which electromagnetic signals (EMS) of low frequency can be emitted by diluted aqueous solutions of some bacterial and viral DNAs are described. That the recorded EMS and nanostructures induced in water carry the DNA information (sequence) is shown by retrieval of that same DNA by classical PCR amplification using the TAQ polymerase, including both primers and nucleotides. Moreover, such a transduction process has also been observed in living human cells exposed to EMS irradiation. These experiments suggest that coherent long-range molecular interaction must be present in water to observe the above-mentioned features. The quantum field theory analysis of the phenomenon is presented in this article.

Notes

¹An amplicon is a piece of DNA or RNA that is the source and/or product of natural or artificial amplification or replication events, usually PCR.

²We stress that a strong input may drive the system shielding its own internal dynamics. In such a case, the symmetry is said to be explicitly broken and one has a substantial modification of the original system by inclusion of the strong perturbing agent. However, this is not what we are interested in the present case, and in general in Biology, where small perturbing inputs may trigger relevant reaction of the system driven by its own internal dynamics.

³In the jargon of coherent states, the word deformation, or also q-deformation, refers to the technically well-defined process of “squeezing” of the coherent state. For technical details, see Celeghini et al. (1995) and Yuen (1976).
