Notes:
A new electron structural mechanism is proposed for interpretations in molecular biology, in addition to the already existing theories of Szent-Györgyi (semiconductivity) and Fröhlich (long-range coherence). The hypothetical “intermediate-” or “zigzag states” (ZZS) of solids are investigated by the recursion (transfer matrix) method. The physical reality of the ZZS is discussed up to an SCF DODS-type theory and the necessity of additional less approximate investigations is emphasized. The possible role of ZZS in the explanation of: (i) translation in protein synthesis, (ii) energy and charge transfer processes, as well as (iii) initiation of protein formation is outlined.
