Abstract: The molecular concept in magnetobiology seems to be most reasonable and significant for explaining the biomedical effects of electromagnetic fields, for new technology of transcranial magnetic stimulation of cognitive activity, for the nuclear magnetic control of biochemical processes, and for the search of new magnetic effects in biology and medicine. The key structural element of the concept is radical ion pair as the receiver of magnetic fields and the source of magnetic effects. The existence of such pairs was detected in two life-supporting processes: enzymatic ATP and DNA syntheses.
