摘要
Magnetic fields increase the activity of cytochrome oxidase, apparently accelerating electron movements during the oxidation of cytochrome C. The increase due to magnetic fields varies inversely with the basal enzyme reaction rate. In this paper, we show that increases in the reaction rate constant in magnetic fields vary with frequency, in the range 10-2500 Hz, with a maximum in the range 500-1000 Hz. The frequency dependence of the cytochrome oxidase is similar to earlier described effects of electric and magnetic fields on the membrane enzymes, Na,K-ATPase and F0F1-ATPase, where optimal frequencies are in ranges of the turnover numbers of the enzyme reactions.
