Abstract
DNA is an excellent complexing agent for ferric iron. However it does not provide an adequate matrix for Fe-57 nuclear resonance absorption- at room temperature. Cellular ferritin with large particle size displa ys a broad resonance at ambient temperature. Therefore only ferritin c ould provide, if at all, the essential prerequisite for the MIRAGE eff ect.
