We show that the irradiation by MM EMW with the frequency 51.8 GHz stabilizes the complex BSA-erythrosine B. At the same time, denaturation parameters of the complex at the irradiation of BSA solution with the frequency 41.8 GHz do not differ from those obtained for non-irradiated samples within the limits of experimental error. We also show that under the influence of the irradiation by 51.8 GHz frequency there is no conformational change of BSA. However, a change in the protein conformation takes place in the case of the complex BSA-erythrosine B.
