In a recent Nature leading article the possibility of the occurrence of resonance absorption at microwave frequencies in DNA was discussed in terms of the latest available theoretical and experimental evidence, and its implications were assessed. Because of the far-reaching nature of these implications it is important that the existence or otherwise of such absorption be firmly established. Here we report on a concerted effort in two independent laboratories which has involved the measurement of the dielectric properties of aqueous solutions of circular DNA molecules in the frequency range 1-10 GHz. No resonance absorption or any form of enhanced absorption was demonstrated.
在《自然》杂志最近的一篇重要文章中，根据最新可得的理论和实验证据，探讨了DNA在微波频率下发生共振吸收的可能性，并评估了其影响。由于这些影响意义深远，因此确定这种吸收是否存在至关重要。在此，我们报告两个独立实验室的协同努力，其中涉及测量环状DNA分子水溶液在1 - 10 GHz频率范围内的介电特性。未发现共振吸收或任何形式的增强吸收。
