Abstract

Proteins in aqueous solution are complex systems that are made of many interacting and non-interacting elements whose behavior can be predictable upon the application of non-linear models. The aim of this study was to show that this complex system behaves like a viscoelastic system under exposure to high frequency electromagnetic (HF-EMF). To this aim, typical proteins in water solution were exposed for 3 h to a high frequency electromagnetic field at the power density of 1 W/m 2 . Proteins α-helices aligned along the direction of the field and the integrated areas of proteins β-sheet content increased linearly as a function of proteins dipole moment. This result can be explained assuming that proteins in aqueous solution under HF-EMF behave like a viscoelastic system.

高频电磁场下水溶液中的蛋白质:复杂体系的粘弹性近似

水溶液中的蛋白质是由许多相互作用和不相互作用的元素组成的复杂系统，这些元素的行为可以通过非线性模型的应用来预测。本研究的目的是表明，这种复杂的系统的行为就像一个粘弹性系统暴露在高频电磁(HF-EMF)。为此，将水溶液中的典型蛋白质暴露在功率密度为1 W/ m2的高频电磁场中3小时。蛋白质α-螺旋沿电场方向排列，蛋白质β-片的集成面积随蛋白质偶极矩的增加呈线性增加。假设水溶液中的蛋白质在高频电磁场作用下表现为粘弹性系统，可以解释这一结果。

期刊介绍： This journal is of a multi- and inter-disciplinary nature and covers a broad range of fields including mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and their intersection. History of science is also included within the topics addressed by the journal. The transactions of the Pelorian Academy started out as periodic news sheets containing the notes presented by the members of the Divisions into which the Academy has been and still is organized, according to subject areas. The publication of these notes for the Division (“Classe”) of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences is the responsibility of the Editorial Committee, which is composed of the Director of the division with the role of Chairman, the Vice-Director, the Secretary and two or more other members. Besides original research articles, the journal also accepts texts from conferences and invited talks held in the Academy. These contributions are published in a different section of the journal. In addition to the regular issues, single monographic supplements are occasionally published which assemble reports and communications presented at congresses, symposia, seminars, study meetings and other scientific events organized by the Academy or under its patronage. Since 2004 these transactions have been published online in the form of an open access electronic journal.
