Abstract
"Rotation of Simple Organic Systems Can Be Induced by Low Intensity Electromagnetic Fields"
Highlights
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can be considered as a valuable tool for analyzing the structure of proteins or other simple organic systems in aqueous solutions [2,3]
The use of this technique has evidenced a significant increase in intensity of proteins Amide I and Amide II vibration bands after exposure of typical proteins in water solutions to an electromagnetic field at a low intensity at 100mW/ m2 in the range 0.9 – 2.5 GHz [4,5,6,7]
An increasing of Amide I and II bands can be explained assuming that proteins α-helix aligned along the direction of applied electromagnetic field inducing an increasing of total amount of dipole moment
Summary
A biological system can align along the direction of an applied magnetic field following the theory of paramagnetism. We should not be surprised by this effect as proteins α-helix has generally a relevant dipole moment which allows possible orientation of a protein along the direction of an applied electromagnetic field.
