Abstract
Microwave radiation decreased specific camphor binding to a membrane fraction of rat epithelium but not to a Triton X‐100 extract of this fraction. Inhibition of the ligand binding did not depend on the modulation frequency of the microwave field in the region 1–100 Hz and was not a linear funcion of specific absorption rate (SAR). The decreased ligand binding was due to a shedding or release of the specific camphor‐binding protein from the membrane into solution. It is highly probable that several other membrane proteins may be shed into solution during microwave exposure.Keywords
