Quantum effects and magnetism in the spatially distributed DNA molecules

Abstract: Electronic and magnetic properties of DNA structures doped by simple and transition d-and f-metal ions (Gd, La, Cu, Zn, Au) are reviewed. Both one-and two dimensional systems are considered. A particular attention is paid to gadolinium and copper doped DNA systems, their unusual magnetism being treated. The problem of classical and quantum transport (including transfer of genetic information during replication and transcription) and electron localization in biological systems is discussed.

“…Interestingly, the ability of TezRs to interact with the magnetic field could be explained by the nucleic-acid structure of these receptors, owing to the alleged paramagnetic properties of nucleic acids and their ability to emit or transmit electromagnetic waves (90)(91)(92)(93)(94). The present results also expanded our understanding of the TRB-receptor system in the control of mutational events and recombination frequency.…”

“…It is surprising, since until now, the identity of a magnetic sensor in non-magnetotactic bacteria remained enigmatic; however, some studies show that different bacteria even lacking magnetosomes are capable of sensing the geomagnetic field (25,26). Interestingly, the ability of TezRs to interact with the magnetic field could be explained by the nucleic-acid structure of these receptors, owing to the alleged paramagnetic properties of nucleic acids and their ability to emit or transmit electromagnetic waves (84)(85)(86)(87)(88). Studying the role of the TETZ-receptor system in response to different chemical and physical factors, we were surprised by how cells lacking both RNA-and DNA-based TezRs continued responding to some of these factors.…”

“…Interestingly, the ability of TezRs to interact with the magnetic field could be explained by the nucleic-acid structure of these receptors, owing to the alleged paramagnetic properties of nucleic acids and their ability to emit or transmit electromagnetic waves [109][110][111][112][113]. Also, the observed phenomenon of the overgrowth of nonmagnetotactic bacteria in the case of the alteration of magnetic field is intriguing, particularly when considering the effect of strong magnetic exposures, such as MRI on human microbiota.…”
