Abstract
Addendum: Montagnier, L.; Aïssa, J.; Capolupo, A.; Craddock, T.J.A.; Kurian, P.; Lavallee, C.; Polcari, A.; Romano, P.; Tedeschi, A.; Vitiello, G. Water Bridging Dynamics of Polymerase Chain Reaction in the Gauge Theory Paradigm of Quantum Fields. Water 2017, 9, 339
Highlights
Petersen, published in ACS Central Science, doi:10.1021/acscentsci.7b00100, on 24 May 2017 [2], where the authors report their discovery of a chiral water superstructure surrounding DNA under ambient conditions
This is the first observation of a chiral spine of hydration templated by a biomolecule and has been obtained by use of chiral sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy, a method analogous to circular dichroism measurements
The authors report that, at room temperature and in 100 mM NaCl solution, they “ observe that DNA imprints its chirality on the surrounding water molecules, generating a chiral SFG water response
Summary
Water 2017, 9, 436 of hydration, and the fact that “a change in the hydration state can lead to dramatic changes to the DNA structure” [2] confirm that such a water superstructure constitutes a detailed mold or “electromagnetic image”, as we have called it in our paper, of the DNA (and, other biomolecules) generating molecular electric dipole interactions. The authors wish to make the following addendum to their paper [1]: After the publication of our paper, submitted on 11 February 2017, we read the paper “DNA’s Chiral Spine of Hydration”, by M. Petersen, published in ACS Central Science, doi:10.1021/acscentsci.7b00100, on 24 May 2017 [2], where the authors report their discovery of a chiral water superstructure surrounding DNA under ambient conditions.
