โฆ Synopsis
The cyclotron resonance model, recently proposed to account for physiological response to weak environmental magnetic fields, is shown to violate the laws of classical mechanics. Further, it is argued that the ubiquitous presence of dynamic friction in fluid media precludes significant magnetic effects on membrane ion transport.

A physical mechanism is suggested for a resonant interaction of weak magnetic fields with biological systems. An ion inside a Caz+-binding protein is approximated by a charged oscillator. A shift in the probability of ion transition between different vibrational energy levels occurs when a combinati
The use in Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry of the collision-induced dissociation of proton-bound dimers, the kinetic method or Cooks's method, is tested. This method is compared with the proton-transfer equilibrium method. Good agreement between the two methods is
