Effect of Spherical Elements of Biosensors and Bioreactors on the Physicochemical Properties of a Peroxidase Protein

It's curious because evidences that for example a metallic structure can concentrate ambient artificial fields and cause major changes in biological components under it´s influx.

" AFM was employed to study the effect of the incubation of a protein solution in a metallic half-sphere. An increased aggregation of HRP was observed after the 40 min incubation of its 0.1 µM solution within a 300 mm titanium half-sphere, in comparison with the solution incubated inside a grounded metallic sphere and the control solution incubated 2 m away from the half-sphere. The effect observed can be explained by the influence of external background electromagnetic fields, concentrated within the half-sphere at the expense of a resonance phenomenon. These results indicated the importance of further studying how electromagnetic fields generated by various devices in both industry and everyday life can affect living systems." {Credits 1}
