SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating resonance frequencies of complex molecules, specifically targeting electronic frequencies within proteins. It highlights the complexity of resonance calculations, which include rotational, vibrational, electronic, and nuclear frequencies, each requiring distinct methodologies. The conversation clarifies that a living cell is not a single molecule, emphasizing the need for precision in scientific terminology. The user expresses a preference to avoid well-trodden examples like H2O in favor of more complex structures.

I have been searching for ways to calculate resonance frequencies of complex molecules. I know that doing so is extremely complex, especially if that molecule contains many elements, but perhaps it could be feasible to target a specific component of a large molecule, such as a nucleus in a cell, through means of resonant frequencies thus being able to split or manipulate the molecular structure. I would be grateful for any help.

Your question doesn't make much sense from the viewpoint of hard science, where terms are defined in an exact way. A molecule has rotational, vibrational, electronic and nuclear resonance frequencies and all of them are calculated/estimated with different methods. A living (animal, plant, fungus, bacterial) cell is definitely not a single molecule.
 
Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say the electronic frequency of a specific protein within a molecule, or a simple structure like H2O, however I would prefer not to discus H2O since many have already found this
