DNA as a Terahertz Wave Resonator: A Theoretical Model for Biophysical Communication
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper proposes a theoretical model that positions the DNA molecule as a bio- physical resonator capable of interacting specifically with electromagnetic fields in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. We hypothesize that the DNA double he- lix structure, with its fractal properties and liquid-crystal nature, enables coherent resonance to function as a transduction mechanism for the transfer of biological information. This model is supported by arguments from mainstream quantum biology, which suggest that non-classical effects such as quantum coherence can persist in the cellular environment. We present a preliminary mathematical frame- work, including the application of the Double Sine-Gordon equation, to explain the propagation of non-linear waves (solitons) along the DNA molecule. A detailed discussion of the terahertz resonance mechanism, its potential as a cellular com- munication mechanism, and how this model can be tested through computational simulations and biophysical experiments is included. We argue that this hypothesis provides a solid framework for understanding information processing in biological systems beyond the paradigm of purely biochemical interactions, paving the way for innovative future research at the intersection of physics, biology, and information science.
