[Special features of water structure formation in biosystems according to dielkometric data]

Experimental data on dielectric function and dielectric loss tangent in living and non-living water-containing systems have been discussed from the viewpoint of our earlier concept on energy transfer in living systems and the role of water in this process. Estimates have been made of a mean length of fractal quasi-crystals, representing the form of biomolecules hydration in the living system; the expected lengths of these quasicrystals are of order of 1000 H2O molecules. It is concluded that the peaks at the curve of frequency dependence of dielectric loss tangent in living systems is due to water sub-system, but not biomolecular vibrations.
