This research program to elucidate the athermal effects | |
of electromagnetic fields and biological systems has | |
divided along two main focus areas: one involving a | |
primarily physical approach to the problem, the second | |
involving a biological approach. The physical approach | |
has taken the form of 1) dynamical modeling studies that | |
attempt to characterize the interaction mechanism and | |
explore some of its consequences, and 2) microwave, | |
dielectric and optical spectroscopic studies in which the | |
interactions of high frequency fields with DNA molecules | |
are studied. The modeling work included both molecular | |
dynamics simulation studies and phenomenological lines of | |
attack. In the latter, a 'depletion model' has been | |
developed which accounts semiquantitatively for may of | |
the observed features of gene expression alteration by | |
electromagnetic fields. The spectroscopic work-- | |
particularly the dielectric relaxation studies-- has | |
yielded significant insights into the dynamics of | |
molecular, ionic, and cellular responses to exogenous | |
fields. RA 3; Microwave; Irradiation; Cell cultures; | |
