Tonight I had a little scroll through my old books (I was looking for (beta)-adrenergic receptors on the surface of monocytes), when I came to a reference to the rhodopsin receptor family, the visual pigment called rhodopsin belongs to this receptor family ,too, of which about 1,000 members are known, the so called G protein-coupled receptors. This is interesting, as the GP-coupled receptors do not need a material substrate to act on the genes of a cell nucleus. Not true, in some receptors it is so, the hormone binds to the receptor and then moves the receptor-ligand complex, as is called the connection between hormone and receptor, from the cell surface to the nucleus and there effects a reprogramming of the genetic material. In the GP coupled receptors (rhodopsin superfamily) it is different. A change in structure of the receptor triggers a cascade of enzyme in the cell concerned to the reprogramming of the DNA. A ligand or hormone is not necessary, theoretically, this structure can also be changed through non-material "substances", such as homeopathic vibrations of a medicament. Or just possibly through quantum healing, respectively, fluctuations of the magnetic field. However, inside the body lacks the exciting light, which makes even the rhodopsin only sensitive to the magnetic field. Possibly the newest cell biology, not even unpacked, gives an answer to this question. cvs.ks.uiuc.edu/Services/Class/BIOPHYS490M/papers/Sakmar-minireview-2002.pdf de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Protein-gekoppelter_Rezeptor
