Abstract
In this paper we develop a model to describe the interaction between an electromagnetic field and a biological microstructure (protoporphyrin IX). We suppose that the energy transferred from the field to the molecule induces a change in the molecule's normal frequencies of vibration. We use a molecular dynamic simulation package to calculate the new vibrational frequencies when the field is applied. We use these new calculated frequencies as an input for a model that, considering linear coupling between these modes and an electronic transition, allows us to calculate the absorption spectrum in the Soret band.
