<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A physical mechanism is suggested for a resonant interaction of weak magnetic fields with biological systems. An ion inside a Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> ‐binding protein is approximated by a charged oscillator. A shift in the probability of ion transition between different vibrational energy levels occurs when a combination of static and alternating magnetic fields is applied. This in turn affects the interaction of the ion with the surrounding ligands. The effect reaches its maximum when the frequency of the alternating field is equal to the cyclotron frequency of this ion or to some of its harmonics or sub‐harmonics. A resonant response of the biosystem to the magnetic field results. The proposed theory permits a quantitative explanation for the main characteristics of experimentally observed effects.</jats:p>
