Recently, I demonstrated in the electrochemical literature that there is direct physical-chemical interaction between the liquid crystal states of important biological substances. Among these substances are DNA, and the blood protein prothrombin. These interactions are long range forces using frequency dependent aspects of magnetic field energy. This is the tip of the iceberg, but it is enough to introduce the mechanism by which large molecules of the body exchange energy and signals. These large molecules or polymers have crystal-like structure and behavious, even as they exist dissolved in water. This state, called liquid crystal or mesophase, is comprised of uniform subunit structures comparable to any crystal. These subunit structures are also arranged in a uniform geometry comparable to a crystal, but with curved arrays in addition to angular arrangements. In conventional crystals used as computer oscillators, the stimulated signal behavior is called piezoelectric. In liquid crystals, the energy stimulated emission of signals is called flexoelectric. Some biological liquid crystals form cable shaped structures when they are coated with hylaluronic acid (pp. 2, 3, 4)
This becomes interesting because we are seearching for the signaling mechanism by which cells migrate together to form tissues and organs. The cancer cell state is a single cell type of behavior which does not form tissues and organs. The organizing communications are missing. How are these communications interrupted?
In clear microscopic images I have shown that two carcinogens, tobacco and nickel-3 (p. 4, figs. 1,2) are each capable of destroying the liquid crystal geometry of prothrombin. The blood protein prothrombin is the circulating liquid crystal of the body. It is dynamically located as an organizing substance. Its electronic field character (Faraday inductance) can receive and transmit signals with the genetic apparatus of all cells. Its delicate field is easily deformed by toxins and carcinogens. Carcinogenic changes in DNA an now be seen as deformities in the DNA field-energized structure and signal function. I have developed synthetic catalysts which increase the density of charge in DNA, and enable the expression of the DNA liquid crystal state. Restoration of the normal field behavior of DNA and prothrombin continues to be a safe and novel approach to cancer therapeutics. next page
