Abstract

Solution of rat muscle actomyosin (AM) was exposed to pulse-modulated microwave. Carried frequency was 2375 MHz. The rectangular pulse modulation was in the range of 50-300 pulses per second. It was shown that AM activity was dependent both on modulation frequency as well as on microwave intensity. It was shown the frequencies of modulation which were changed ATP-ase activity of AM.

Main findings

Rat muscle actomyosin solution exposed to 2375 MHz pulse-modulated microwave radiation showed ATPase activity changes that depended on modulation frequency (50–300 pulses/second) and microwave intensity; specific modulation frequencies were reported to change ATPase activity.
