Change in charge of the erythrocyte membrane during exposure to a pulsed electromagnetic field]

By means of hydrophobic anion phenyldicarbaundecaboron electrophoresis in PAA gels and filtration through "Millipore" filters an increase of the total membrane charge and decrease in the amount of membrane-bound proteins (actin, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedehydrogenase) after erythrocyte ghosts exposition in pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF, 1-10 Hz pulse frequency, 24 mTesla) were demonstrated. The effects of PEMF are explained by the changes in the distribution of electrostatic charges near the membrane protein-protein binding sites.
