Abstract:
The model for the interaction of weak magnetic fields with biosystems, which has been suggested earlier by the author for the case of impulse-like excitation of oscillators (i.e. of ions bound in the Ca(2+)-dependent enzymes or in the protein-enzyme complexes) is extended for the more realistic case of continuous excitation of oscillators. The expressions for the polarization degree of oscillator's vibrations in combined, static and alternating magnetic fields are derived. It is postulated that the value of bioeffect induced by magnetic field in a biosystem is proportional to the polarization degree of the ion's vibration. The available experimental data are shown to be in a remarkably good fit with theoretical predictions.
