title: Conversion of albumin into a transmitter of the ultra long-range interaction of human erythrocytes.
abstract: Previous experiments in our laboratory and elsewhere have shown that extended macromolecules of high molecular weight are needed in the suspending medium to transmit the quantum-mechanical coherent interaction of human erythrocytes. Albumin, a globular protein, does not transmit the interaction at physiological concentrations. Albumin can be converted into a transmitter by preheating a solution of albumin to 62 degrees C for 20 min. Such treatment unravels the tertiary structure of albumin and allows it to polymerize.
