ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus and method for regulating transmembrane ion movement through a biochemical membrane. The apparatus includes a magnetic field generator and a magnetic field detector for producing a controlled, fluctuating, directionally oriented magnetic field parallel to a predetermined axis projecting through the membrane. The field detector samples the magnetic flux density along the predetermined access and provides a signal to a microprocessor which determines the average value of the flux density. This ratio is maintained by adjusting the frequency of the fluctuating magnetic field and/or by adjusting the intensity of the applied magnetic field as the composite magnetic flux density changes in response to changes in the local magnetic field to which the target membrane is subjected. By maintaining these precise predetermined ratios of frequency to average magnetic flux density, ion transport is controlled.
