Search for superconducting regions in lysozyme.

A D Clark, L J Dunne

    Physiological Chemistry and Physics
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Electron transfer rates in spin-labeled lysozyme were unaffected by a magnetic field. This finding challenges proposed superconductivity in lysozyme, suggesting alternative explanations are needed for its electronic properties.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Electrochemistry
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Lysozyme is a protein with potential electronic properties.
    • Previous research suggested superconductivity in lysozyme under specific conditions.
    • Understanding electron transfer mechanisms is crucial for bioelectronic applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of external magnetic fields on electron transfer rates in spin-labeled lysozyme.
    • To experimentally test hypotheses regarding superconductivity in lysozyme.

    Main Methods:

    • Electron transfer rates were measured between a spin-labeled lysozyme molecule and a platinum electrode in aqueous solution.
    • Measurements were conducted both with and without an external magnetic field (approx. 100 mT).

    Main Results:

    • The electron transfer rate showed no significant alteration in the presence of the magnetic field.
    • Observed behavior contradicts theoretical models predicting superconductivity-related effects.

    Conclusions:

    • The lack of magnetic field dependence suggests that proposed superconductivity in lysozyme may not be accurate.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the electronic properties of lysozyme and its interactions with electrodes.
