Effect of Infrared Light on Protein Behavior in Contact with Solid Surface

" By its ability to affect protein conformational state and interfacial characteristics (such as effective protein-water affinity) IR radiation can therefore modulate protein interactions." {Credits 1}

" ... Our results suggest that protective action of IR radiation on protein conformation is related with the effect of IR light on protein interfacial water and the presence of strongly water-holding amino acid residues." {Credits 1}
