Abstract :
In this paper we present some experimental evidence of the MW-induced changes in physical characteristics, optical properties, vibration states of molecules and their sizes in the Langmuir-Blodgett layers of model biological systems. Under the application of MW field we have registered: 1) with holographic interferometry, the changes in refractive index of model solutions; 2) with optics and spectroscopy, the changes in H-bond nets and vibrations modes of NH3+ and COO- terminal groups of amino acids, which is responsible for the interaction of proteins with other biological molecules in biochemical reactions; 3) the drastic changes in the formation of Langmuir-Blodgett layers
