On the possible role of the nitrogen atom in living matter

Abstract

Molecules of NH₃ are capable of emitting stimulated radiation (MASER). Their organic derivates could have a similar effect, as is suggested by the new results published in Electron Correlations in Molecules and Solids [P. Fulde, Electron Correlations in Molecules and Solids, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1993].
