Abstract

The aim of this study is to make a detailed and comparative topological analysis of the single photons and the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) geometrical structures in order to deduce possible interaction mechanisms, particularly with the quantum vacuum fluctuations. As revealed by the experimental evidence and advanced quantum electrodynamics calculations the quantum vacuum is a sea of transient photons of all wavelengths whose fluctuations interact with matter. Single photon topology and structure is quite characteristic and can be represented by a three dimensional helicoid configuration of the vector potential amplitude over a wavelength. The geometrical configurations of the A DNA, B DNA and Z DNA macromolecules are also known precisely and appear to be similar to that of the photon. Using experimental data and recent quantum electrodynamics theoretical results we put in evidence for the first time that the right-hand canonical B DNA has exactly an identical geometrical configuration with right-hand circular polarization photons having a wavelength equal to the B DNA pitch per turn of helix. Conversely, we show that the radial amplitudes of the right-hand A DNA and the left-hand Z DNA are slightly bigger and smaller respectively compared to photon trains having wavelengths equivalent to the corresponding pitch per helix distances. The amplitudes of the photons electric and magnetic fields are also calculated and revealed to be considerably high locally. We conclude that the DNA alterations by homothetic photons in the soft X-rays range, especially those due to the quantum vacuum fluctuations, may be quite significant contributing to the DNA damage accumulation with time and are worthy to be extensively studied.
