Abstract
Many studies on the biological effects of DC magnetic fields are reported1–3, however, the mechanisms of most of the effects were not clarified. In the area of spin chemistry, chemists have investigated the effects of DC magnetic fields on radical recombination processes, and clarified the mechanism of chemical reactions that involve radical pairs under magnetic fields from mT order to greater than 10 T4. Recently, the radical pair model is often used for the discussion and explanation of biomagnetic effects 5. While several enzymatic processes have radical pairs, it is not easy to examine the products of radical reaction in vivo. However, if the products could be measured by light emission, real time measurement of radical reaction could be available in an in vivo system. The use of bioluminescence to investigate the interaction of magnetic fields with in vivo biochemical processes which involve the radical pairs is effective. In the present study, the effect of magnetic fields on the emission of light by a living system was studied.
