title: DNA -a computer model.
abstract: The model of the system DNA-histones functioning like a computer has the following elements: 1. The hydrogen bonds between the complementary nucleotide bases function as informational gates. When the pi electrons of a nucleotide base are excited, an exchange of protons is produced between the 2 complementary bases. The result is the displacement of the double conjugated bonds which facilitate the intermolecular transmission of the electronic wave of excitation by an electromagnetic coupling. 2. Each triplet of nucleotide bases of DNA fixes a certain amino acid (as in the genetic code). Between the nucleotide bases and the amino acids there are constituted informational gates, which ensure the circulation of the electronic wave of excitation.
