Effect of magnetic field on activity of cytochrome oxidase not moved or moved relative to magnetic field lines.
The influence of constant homogeneous magnetic fields (700 to 13,000 gauss) on cytochrome c oxidase activity as a function of strength and duration of magnetic field and as a function of enzyme concentration at 0-5 degrees C in solution was measured on samples not moved or moved relative to the magnetic field lines. Increases or decreases of enzyme activity were observed depending on whether or not the samples were so moved. These changes persisted for hours after terminating exposure to the magnetic field.
