Abstract
It has been pointed out by several observations that the hydrogen bond system may have important roles in the biological macromolecular substances. In this paper we will review the speculative picture of such system on the view-point of physical considerations, while up to the present it seems not to be clearly established yet. In the former part of this paper, experimental data will be given for such measurements as X-ray diffraction, infrared absorption, electron spin resonance, ultraviolet absorption and so on. Later, the phase transition in the kinetic rate measurement of thermal reaction of macromolecules and also their functional abilities will be discussed using the hypothetical model of protein which has the operative function analogous to that of the computing machine.
