SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the theoretical determination of individual electromagnetic fields from single biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Key methods mentioned include optical spectroscopy techniques like absorption, photoluminescence, and Raman scattering, which operate at various frequencies. Additionally, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron magnetic resonance (EMR) are highlighted for their use of oscillating magnetic fields at radio frequencies. X-ray crystallography is also discussed as a method for determining atomic positions and electron density, which relates to the electromagnetic properties of molecules.
