Abstract

It was shown that water with additions of Ca2+, Na+, K+ and Cl- ions preliminarily treated with weak combined constant (42 microT) and low-frequency alternating (0.06 microT) magnetic fields affects the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin, the magnitude of the effect being dependent on the frequency of the alternating field and ionic composition of the aqueous salt solution. A practically complete transfer of the effect through a small portion of the solution treated with magnetic fields was revealed. It was also found that after magnetic treatment, the solution contains a rather large (molecular mass 700-900 D) and stable molecular associate, which possesses, at least partially, the properties and characteristics inherent in the whole solution that were as acquired as a result of magnetic treatment.
