Abstract
The mechanism underlying the influence of peptides in ultralow doses is based on distant signal transduction from the ligand molecules to target cells by means of water solitons. Biological activity of synthetic immunoactive peptides in concentrations below 10-18 M depends on their structural and conformational characteristics. The data on temperature dependencies of the near-infrared spectrum for solutions of these peptides are presented.
