Molecular simulations of biochemical processes seem to be a promising tool to understand the mechanisms through which an EM field can interact with a biological system. Here the action of a MW signal on the binding process of a ligand to a protein active site has been studied choosing myoglobin as a reference molecular model. The methodology used permits to follow the dynamic evolution of the chemical reaction in the system with an extremely rigorous approach based on quantum analysis.

Abstract
Molecular simulations of biochemical processes seem to be a promising tool to understand the mechanisms through which an EM field can interact with a biological system. Here the action of a MW signal on the binding process of a ligand to a protein active site has been studied choosing myoglobin as a reference molecular model. The methodology used permits to follow the dynamic evolution of the chemical reaction in the system with an extremely rigorous approach based on quantum analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
