Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations give the chance to evaluate physical interactions in biological matter occurring at the atomistic level and in nanosecond or microsecond timescales. Due to the ongoing interest in using radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) fields both for a wide range of biomedical applications and for the interaction mechanisms at the basis of health effects, a deep investigation on their effects to biological membrane is needed.In this work the response of a biological hydrated membrane to the application of RF EM fields was studied from an atomistic point of view, comparing the effects with the ones induced by a static field exposure.
