Some Possible Biological Effects of an Electric Field Acting on Nucleic Acids or Proteins

Terrell L. Hill · 1957

The paper theorized that an electric field can alter or reverse the relative stability of different macromolecular configurations. It stated that the field will shift the equilibrium between molecular configurations. The analysis identified three possible consequences: separation of DNA double helix chains, partial or complete protein denaturation, and changes in protein chain elasticity between long and short states. The author noted these processes might occur in artificial conditions or be relevant in natural biological membranes due to changes in membrane potential or charge distribution.
