The present work follows a series of investigations of ours aimed at understanding whether longrange intermolecular electrodynamic forces could play a role in accelerating the encounter of the cognate partners of biochemical reactions in living matter and by which experimental methods and available techniques these forces could be detected. After the experimental detection of collective intramolecular oscillations of protein molecules [that we reported in Phys. Rev.X8, 031061 (2018)] the possibility of observing the mentioned electrodynamic interactions appears more realistic and thus deserving a deeper theoretical investigation of possible experimental detection of these forces with new data at hand.
