Discussion on the Possible Role of Molecular Vibration in Intracellular Signalling

The exchange of information within the cell is extremely complex. Besides the well-studied chemical signalling, physical signalling is required to fulfil spatial and temporal aspects. The Golgi apparatus and the microtubule skeleton system are the decisive structures for numerous intracellular transport tasks. Close communication between the Golgi apparatus and the cell periphery is an absolute prerequisite for the well-directed positioning of structural elements. The majority of the substances that influence the cell from the membrane transmit the information to the intracellular destination via signal transduction pathways. It is discussed in detail that the transmission of information in both systems is based on emission and resonance of electromagnetic patterns in the infrared frequency range generated by the vibrations of the respective molecules. This radiation with fingerprint patterns must be coherent to activate enzymes. Coherence could be achieved by the chemical reactions of the molecules to be replaced or in the signal transduction pathways, by the phosphorylation of the transduction proteins. The quasicrystalline structure of water is essential for that coherence. The technical application of that hypothesis would open many new possibilities. However, several biological phenomena will probably only become completely explainable with the comprehensive application of modern quantum physics and there, we are at the beginning phase.
