DNA-Protein Interactions at Distance Explained by the Resonant Recognition Model

It is very hard to accept that fast, precise and efficient biomolecular interactions within living cells in an environment heavily populated with other molecules which is happening only by random movement of molecules. A more realistic approach would be to have long distance recognition that will guide interacting molecules towards each other. With this idea in mind, it has been recently experimentally measured that the recognition between interacting biomolecules occurs on a distance through resonant electrodynamic intermolecular forces. To theoretically explain such measurements, we have employed the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM), which is the unique model predicting that biomolecular interactions are based on resonant electromagnetic energy transfer for distant recognition and interaction between interacting molecules. Here, we have applied the RRM model to analyse the interaction between EcoRI enzyme and double helix DNA primer containing EcoRI cleavage site. We have identified the characteristic frequency for this interaction, proposing that resonant electromagnetic energy is responsible for enzyme and DNA long distance recognition.
