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.
