Protein music

≤Filling energy with "'O Sole Mio"≥

Mitochondria is of course included in the cells of sunflowers. The protein which plays an important role in producing ATP is atp6. Dr. Sternheimer, who has discovered the music of proteins, says: "The melody promoting the synthesis of a protein called atp6 contained inmitochondria of sunflowers reproduces the passage corresponding to the very words of "'o sole mio" of the song "'O Sole Mio"". How interesting if we imagine the scene that sunflowers stock enthusiastically energy in their cells as ATP while singing "Oh my sun!" to the brilliant sun of the summer! "'O Sole Mio" is, as you know, a napoletana or a popular song of Naples. It is said that the song was composed in 1898 by Eduardo di Capua when he was staying in Odessa in Ukraine with his father. Returning to Naples, he participated in the music festival of Madonna di Piedigrotta held in September with the song. This was the first occasion that "'O Sole Mio" was sung in front of the general public. "'O Sole Mio" could get only the second prize at the festival, but the song became known all over the world owing to the world famous tenor Enrico Caruso who sang the song as his repertoire. Well known songs such as "Torna a Surrento" or Return to Sorrento were also first sang in this festival.

Sunflowers helped to produce the hit song?

Odessa in Ukraine where di Capua stayed faces to the Black Sea and is characterized by a mild weather with sunlight all year. Odessa is also a city situated in a rich granary. A main farm product is, to our surprise, sunflowers. To eat grains or to obtain sunflower oil, Russians cultivatesunflowers on a large scale: Ukraine is one of the most famous sunflower-growing district in the world. In the suburbs of the city, endless sunflower field comes into sight. Di Capua also should have seen the sunflower field. I would like to dare to imagine that the melody corresponding to the words of "'o sole mio" might come across his mind inspired by the voiceless talk of the sunflowers to him. Di Capua composed many hit songs such as "'Oh Sole Mio" while earning his living by playing in small theaters, cafes and cinemas in and around Naples. However, he could not benefit from the hit songs because he did not know the world. One day he said to his wife that he would die if he had to dispose of his piano. Just as his words, when he sold his piano because of the necessity to make money, he fell ill and died in extreme poverty in a hospital. What irony it is that he composed in "'O Sole Mio" a melody which promotes the production of ATP or the "currency" in living creatures, while he could not even afford the money to lead the simplest living in the real world!

Good Study in Other Fields This presentation deals with the role played by sounds and music in living organisms and more precisely in agriculture. We begin with a brief explanation of physical aspects of sounds. After that we discuss more deeply the nature of music as a tool to access greater knowledge. This lecture presents knowledge to open a new consciousness of the interrelationships between subjects and objects and resonant mechanisms in everything. The role of music as form of communication between people but also with other living organisms, specifically with plants, will be approached. Ancestral traditions and their knowledge frequently mention the role of sounds for the health of men, plants and animals. After this introduction, a brief overview will be given of some discoveries and theories that explain the influence of music on plants. Some of them involve possible activation of certain genes, cavitation processes, and influence on the permeability of membranes with some sound frequencies or sequences. There are also resonant mechanisms that can be very interesting for applications in agriculture and human health care.
