Potential risk resulting from the influence of static magnetic field upon living organisms. Numerically simulated effects of the static magnetic field upon model complex lipids

Background : Recognising effects of static magnetic field (SMF) varying flux density on flora and fauna is attempted. For this purpose, the influence studied for molecules five complex lipids i.e. such as β-carotene, sphingosine, ceramide, cholesterol phosphatidylcholine. Methods Computations effect real SMF 0.0, 0.1, 1, 10 100 AMFU (Arbitrary Magnetic Field Unit; here 1AMFU > 1000 T) were performed in silico (computer vacuum), involving advanced computational methods. Results polarises depending applied density. Only β-carotene survives exposure to without radical splitting some valence bonds. Molecules remaining suffered cleavage bonds AMFU. Manipulation with provides either inhibition or stimulation biological functions under study. Conclusions destabilises extent Biological are fairly sensitive SMF, whereas only slight response observed case ceramide cholesterol. Enzymatic hydrolysis phosphatidylcholine stimulated by regardless catalysed enzyme employed.
