Early Detection of Neurological Degenerative Diseases Based on the Protein Chirality Detection with Microwaves
We proposed a new methodology to detect the neurological degenerative diseases in the early stage. These neurological degenerative diseases often occur along with some mark proteins. Instilled by golden nanoparticles, these protein cells can demonstrate optical activity because of their helical structure. In order to detect these mark proteins, we developed a numerical method to simulate the electromagnetic response upon chiral (bi-isotropic) material. The chiral proteins in human head can therefore be detected. The primitive simulation results suggest that the proposed method would be capable of carrying out in vivo detection of neurological degenerative disease using microwaves.
