Method and apparatus for determining biologically useful field metrics associated with magnetic fields

Abstract

An apparatus and method for determining the biological amplitude and frequency windows of magnetic fields. The method for determining the biological window for the field metrics of a magnetic field is described with particular reference to a chemical system and method using myosin light chain kinase, calmodulin, and magnetic fields. The process is designed to calculate and measure the number of radioactive events (i.e., Cherenkov emissions) of a specimen or sample wherein such events are indicative of the relative biological effectiveness as will be described herein below. A method for determining a biological window of a magnetic field comprising the steps of preparing a reaction solution containing at least the following components: MLC, MLCK, calmodulin, calcium ions, and radiolabeled ATP, and exposing the reaction solution to a magnetic field; removing the reaction mixture from the magnetic field and forming a specimen by placing a quantity of the solution onto a substrate; washing the specimen; placing the washed specimen in a suspension liquid and counting the number of radioactive events over a given time T.
