Abstract: Investigation of the properties of peptide plane in protein chain from both classical and quantum approach is presented. We calculated interatomic force constants for peptide plane and hydrogen bonds between peptide planes in protein chain. On the basis of force constants, displacements of each atom in peptide plane, and time of action we found that the value of the peptide plane action is close to the Planck constant. This indicates that peptide plane from the energy viewpoint possesses synergetic classical/quantum properties. Consideration of peptide planes in protein chain from information viewpoint also shows that protein chain possesses classical and quantum properties. So, it appears that protein chain behaves as a triple dual system: (1) structural - amino acids and peptide planes, (2) energy - classical and quantum state, and (3) information - classical and quantum coding. Based on experimental facts of protein chain, we proposed from the structure-energy-information viewpoint its synergetic code system.

Abstract: In this paper kinetics of binding of fullerol to polyacrylic hydrogel at different temperatures, 298, 308 and 318 K, has been investigated. Time dependences of specific capacity of fullerol binding to hydrogel at defined temperatures are determined. Kinetic curves of specific binding capacity of fullerol for hydrogel are described by equations: t x k t x k x max 1 2 max 1 1+ = and x=k2tn. Rate constants k1 and k2 of the specific fullerol binding capacity at various temperatures are determined. Based on changes in constants k1 and k2 with temperature, kinetic parameters of the investigated process are calculated. Also, due to a great difference in values of kinetic parameters k1 and k2 obtained by varying the temperature, kinetic parameters are determined by using Friedman’s isoconversion method. The values of kinetic parameters based on temperature changes in k2 correspond to the values of kinetic parameters for 9 . 0 » a , while the values of kinetic parameters calculated according to the temperature change in k1, correspond to the Ea values. According to the obtained results it is concluded that the investigated process is controlled by diffusion.

Abstract: Contemporary trends in science and technology are characterized by integration of biological and technical systems, like in nanotechnology, nanobiology, and quantum medicine. In our case, we were motivated by a necessity to understand charge transport through microtubular cytoskeleton as a constitutive part of acupuncture system. The high frequency component of acupuncture currents, widely exploited in microwave resonance stimulation of acupuncture system in the past decade, implies that explanation of the cytoplasmatic conductivity should be sought in the framework of Frohlich theory. Accordingly, in this paper we critically analyze the problem of the microwave coherent longitudinal electrical oscillations as a theoretical basis for understanding soliton phenomena in microtubules, showing that charged kink-soliton nonlinear microtubular excitations might be a good candidate for charge transport in microtubules.
