A dynamical model describing DNA as superconductant is proposed. The status of superconductivity is described as being represented by a radiation‐induced harmonic oscillation of a parcel of π electrons between the reference level and critical temperatures. A set of field equations is used to describe the information exchange process mediated by a coherent wave phenomenon.
