Probing the effect(s) of the microwaves' electromagnetic fields in enzymatic reactions.


ABSTRACT: This paper examines the effects that electromagnetic fields from microwave radiation have in enzymatic reactions. Hydrolysis of proteins in beef (in vivo case) and casein (in vitro case) by the papain enzyme, a major industrial enzyme, is used herein as a model reaction to assess, under highly controlled conditions, the various parameters of microwave radiation (electric field, magnetic field, pulsed microwave irradiation, continuous microwave irradiation) as they might influence these in vivo and in vitro enzymatic reactions. The effect(s) of the microwaves' electromagnetic fields was clearly evidenced in the in vivo case, contrary to the in vitro case where no such effect was observed, likely due to the nature of the hydrolysis reaction and to the autolysis (self-digestion) of the papain enzyme. Additionally, the effect of pulsed versus continuous microwave irradiation was further assessed by examining the catalase-assisted decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
