Model 2450 MHz (CW) exposure to purified beta-lactoglobulin protein and analysis of structure and folding
Details

Purified beta-lactoglobulin protein was denatured in urea, cooled to 4 degrees, and renatured by increasing the temperature by 2 degree increments until renaturization was observed (as seen spectrophotmetrically). Exposure to 2450 MHz (CW) accelerated both the denaturization and renaturization process. Since the solution was only observed to increase in temperature by 0.3 degrees as a result of the 2450 MHz exposure, the authors suggest this reports a non-thermal effect.
