Microwave Effects on Protein Structures and/or Enzymatic Reactions

Abstract

Microwave (MW) is applied to various fields such as microwave oven, wireless local network, and satellite broadcasting. There is great interest in microwave effects on biomolecules including proteins as the microwave technology expands. Various researches of MW effects were conducted, however such effects at molecular level of life phenomena have not been elucidated. This review summarizes some researches of MW effects on protein structures and/or enzymatic reactions.
