We investigated the influence of THz laser radiation of frequencies of 1.15 THz and 3.68 THz and radiation power of about 10 Mw on protein (bovine serum albumin). Using UV spectrophotometry, we revealed increase in the optical density of irradiated samples of bovine serum albumin at the characteristic absorption bands, which is evidence of conformation changes in protein molecules.

Keywords:
