Physical Fields in Proteins as a Factor of Controlling Metabolic Nanocurrent

摘要

It is known that in order to complete the process of ATP synthesis in mitochondria, it is necessary to transfer in it electrons from places where electrons arise as a result of oxidative processes. Therefore, the study of the mechanisms of such a transfer is important, in particular, from the point of view of the regulatory effect on it for therapeutic purposes. The question of the possibility of considering the primary structure of proteins as an active nanowire of a semiconductor nature is analyzed. It has been established that primary structure of the protein molecule is actually a semiconductor nanowire. It has been shown that a non-uniform amino acid composition forms a residual electrostatic field, which is the cause of directional electron transfer. In particular, studies have been conducted on the effect of temperature on electron transfer processes along cellular organelles, which are polypeptide fragments of protein molecules. The possibility of controlling electron transfer along a protein-like nanowire using a magnetic field is investigated.-This research is novel. In the future it may be the basis for determining the optimal parameters of the magnetic field in clinical practice.
