Model		8.5 GHz exposure to a solution of fluorescent protein and analysis of activity changes vs. conventional heating
Details		Green flurescent protein in solution was heated by either 8.5 GHz microwaves using 250 mW power or by conventional heating. The authors report a decrease in fluorescence and a spectral shift from green to red that was more dramatic with MW exposure than with conventional heating, and propose several non-thermal mechanisms.
