Effects Induced in Complex Biological Systems by High Density Green Photons

2014 
It is known that light interaction with matter may generate an optical force, which may produce modifications at the physical and chemical level. The basic technique of the field uses strongly focused laser beams that trap small objects and manipulate local structures. In our work we use irradiation of complex biological molecules with high density green photons, which may induce electric dipoles by polarization effects. The resulting dipolar interaction may lead to organized structures like molecular aggregates and microparticles. We present experimental evidence of such an optical manipulation on long alkanes chains and two specific enzymes. A preliminary physical model is suggested for acounting of these specific interaction forces.
