Molecular simulations of biochemical processes in presence of a MW signal

The influence of microwaves (MW) electromagnetic (EM) fields are of extreme importance when considering the processes by which an EM field acts on a biological system. Here the MW field action on biological molecules or structures, altering their charge, chemical state, or energy, can be considered as the first "transduction" step for the occurring of a biological effect. Previous authors results on MW EM interaction at molecular level regarded a basic process such as the ligand- binding to a free moving protein. In this work another equally important process involved in several biochemical reactions is considered: the electron transfer. The enzyme specifically chosen is superoxide dismutase (SOD), a metalloenzyme containing copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) metal ions.
