Measure of enzymatic activity coincident with 2450 MHz microwave exposure.
Enzyme preparations were exposed to microwave radiation at 2450 MHz and enzymatic activity was simultaneously monitored spectrophotometrically with a crossed-beam exposure detection system. Enzymes studied were glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from human red blood cells and yeast, adenylate kinase from rat liver mitochondria and rabbit muscle, and rat liver microsomal NADPH cytochrome c reductase. No difference was found between the specific activity at 25 degrees C of unirradiated controls and enzyme preparations irradiated at an absorbed dose rate of 42 W/kg.
