Abstract

Certain type of low-frequency DNA molecular oscillations was analysed within the self-consistent phonon approximation. There were calculated dispersion relationship, exiting the oscillations by electromagnetic wave and corresponding contribution to the absorption spectrum of ensemble of parallel DNA molecules. The dependence of the DNA spectral characteristics on the length and period of the DNA duplex structure is revealed. The method of experimental check of obtained results is suggested. If the described model is confirmed by experiment, the obtained results available to reconstruct the length and duplex period of the DNA in a sample by its absorption spectrum.
