Torsional Vibrations of DNA and RNA

Authors: Ikhlov BL, Tregubova Irene Evgenyevna, Ratkin Lev Samuilovith.

Experimental evidence of suppression of bacterial survival at resonant frequencies is given, it is indicated that centimeter waves can cause hormesis. It is shown that the torsional rigidity of DNA or RNA helices in the free and in the compactified state differs by 30 orders of magnitude. Exact formulas for the natural frequencies of torsional vibrations of DNA and RNA are obtained. The confirmations of the theory according to which the natural frequencies of torsional vibrations of DNA helices are located in the centimeter spectrum are indicated.
