MECHANISMS OF FRACTIONATION OF STABLE ISOTOPES IN LIVING SYSTEMS

Abstract

Some physical laws are considered that provide stable fractionation of isotopes, leading to the accumulation of certain isotopic forms in the intracellular and intercellular space with the manifestation of these effects at various levels of the organism. It is suggested that for a more complete understanding of the above processes, it is necessary to study the mechanism of exchange interaction between particles with integer spin (bosons) and half-integer spin (fermions).
