Influence of magnetic fields on the hydration process of amino acids: Vibrational spectroscopy study of L-phenylalanine and L-glutamine

掲載誌: Bioelectromagnetics 2014; 35 (2): 129-135

この研究は、水溶液中のL-フェニルアラニン(L-Phe)およびL-グルタミン(L-Gln)の構造に対する弱い電磁界の影響を、減衰全反射フーリエ変換赤外(ATR-FTIR)分光法を用いて調べた。適用した磁界は、DCまたは50-100 Hz、強度は50μTまたは150μTで、実験室での地磁気(45μT)の方向に垂直とした。その結果、短時間のDCまたは50 Hzばく露により、試料の分光スペクトラムに変化が起きた、などを報告している。

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Exposure to a direct current field or a 50 Hz alternating field field for a short time induced modifications in the spectra of exposed samples in agreement with previous observations on glutamic acid (De Ninno and Castellano 2011a). Furthermore, in the case of L-phenylalanine, the exposure induced a measurable shift of acid dissociation constant, while in case of L-glutamine, the effect is under the limit detectable with this method.
The authors suggest that the magnetic field modifies the water structure around the molecules and changes the hydrophobic interactions allowing the molecules of amino acids to aggregate. The differences observed in the behavior of L-phenylalanine and L-glutamine may be related to the differences in the polarity of their residues.
