Theoretical Description of Changes in Conformation and Symmetry of Supramolecular Systems During the Reception of a Molecular Signal.

Aqueous solutions are not homogeneous and could be considered supramolecular systems. They can emit electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic emission from one supramolecular system ("source") can be received by another supramolecular system ("receiver") without direct contact (distantly). This process represents a transfer of a "molecular signal" and causes changes in conformation and symmetry of the "receiver". The aim of the current work is to theoretically describe such changes primarily using a solution of the chiral protein interferon-gamma (IFNγ) as an example. We provide theoretical evidence that supramolecular systems of highly diluted (HD) aqueous solutions formed by self-assembly after mechanical activation generate a stronger molecular signal compared to non-activated solutions, due to their higher energy-saturated state. Additionally, molecular signals cause supramolecular systems with complex (including chiral) structures to undergo easier changes in conformation and symmetry compared to simpler systems, enhancing their biological activity. Using statistical physics, we obtained the parameter
