Magnetic isotope effects and nuclear spin catalysis in living cells and biomolecular motors: recent advances and future outlooks

The Best Material from the VII Congress of Russian Biophysicists

“…'s report, studies were presented on the catalytic effects of magnetic isotopes of magnesium ( 25 Mg) and zinc ( 67 Zn) on the enzymatic hydrolysis of ATP by myosin. The rates of ATP hydrolysis in environments containing the magnetic isotopes 25 Mg and 67 Zn turned out to be 40-50% higher than the rates in environments with non-magnetic isotopes of these elements [6].…”
