Rhythmic Oscillations and Resonant Information Transfer in Biological Macromolecules

Abstract

This manuscript is a concise review of a selection of key concepts concerning _rhythmic oscillations in proteins to human cognition_. All matter has an associated frequency, characterized by \(\nu\ =\ \frac{c}{\lambda}\), (where \(\lambda\) is the de Broglie wavelength for matter, \(\lambda\ =\ \frac{h}{p}=\ \frac{h}{\gamma m_0\upsilon}\)), or for the more realistic situation of an ensemble of atoms, the wave-packet dispersion relation \(\omega\ =\ \frac{\hbar k^2}{2m}\) (were \(\hbar\) is the reduced Planck constant, and _k _is the wave vector = \(2\pi p\) ). In large organic macromolecules and biopolymers of the living system, there are multiple vibrational modes and oscillatory frequencies, the resonances of which can facilitate molecular recognition, coupling with field modes, electromagnetic and Van der Waals interactions. Via harmonic rhythmic oscillations and resonances nanosecond-scale intermolecular interactions are highly coordinated to orchestrate the myriad complex biochemistry pathways of the cell. Importantly, this field-like interaction is integral in information processing and exchange occurring at the molecular level that underlie cellular intelligence, network intelligence, and perhaps even sentience and consciousness. We will review here the _resonant recognition model _of Irena Cosic and the scale-invariant acoustic information code of a superfluid quantum space described by Meijer.
