Magnetic field effect on singlet oxygen production in a biochemical system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The yield of singlet oxygen sensitized by chemically modified, carotenoidless bacterial photosynthetic reaction centres and the ensuing oxidative damage are both shown to be magnetic field-dependent.

Electric-Field-Induced Triplet to Singlet Transition in Size-2 Trigonal Zigzag Graphene Nanoflake
Using Hartree-Fock Su-Sheriffer-Heeger (HF-SSH) model, we have studied the dependence of the energies of the ground (magnetic triplet state) and the first exited (nonmagnetic singlet state) states of the size-2 trigonal zigzag graphene nanoflake (size-2 NF) on the intensity of an external in plane static electric field at zero temperature. We identify a transition from the magnetic triplet stat...
متن کاملMagnetic field production after inflation
We study the electromagnetic field production during preheating after hybrid inflation in a model with the field content of the Standard Model, coupled to a singlet inflaton. We find that very soon after symmetry breaking our system enters a regime of kinetic turbulence, characterized by a self-similar behaviour of the energy spectra and a power-like dependence on time of the inflaton and Higgs...
متن کاملROLE OF Mn(TPP)Cl IN THE EPOXIDATION WITH SINGLET OXYGEN
Mn(TPP)Cl catalyzes cooxidation of olefin in the singlet oxygenation of sulfid. Mn(TPP)Cl is able to transfer an oxygen atom from a peroxidic intermediate generated in singlet oxygenation of sulfide to a metal ion affording metal 0x0 species which is responsible for epoxidation. This system leads to allcenes epoxidation such as styrene and cyclooctene. Epoxidation of cyclohexene produces cy...
متن کاملA quantum protective mechanism in photosynthesis
Since the emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis, living systems have developed protective mechanisms against reactive oxygen species. During charge separation in photosynthetic reaction centres, triplet states can react with molecular oxygen generating destructive singlet oxygen. The triplet product yield in bacteria is observed to be reduced by weak magnetic fields. Reaction centres from plants...
متن کاملThe effect of earth magnetic field on the function of nuclear medicine imaging systems (SPECT)
Background: The nuclear medicine systems are very sensitive to the variation of the magnetic field. Photomultiplier tubes amplify low energy light signal and change it into electrical current. Low magnetic field can produce some variations in uniformity and special resolution of SPECT systems. In this study, we tried to evaluate the effects of magnetic field on the function of nuclear medic...
