Abstract
The evolutionary conception of bound water and the structure of liquid water has been briefly described. The function of the radial distribution of water molecules has been analyzed. The intermediate maxima at 0.35 nm of the function is shown to be described in the frame of the model of continuous hydrogen bond net without invoking the mixed and two-state models of liquid water. Using a simple extensive parametric structure, spiral 30/11, a model of topological rearrangement waves including bifurcate bonds is suggested. These waves can transmit the information on conformational transitions between cellular elements through the virtual spirals of bound water.
