Abstract
It was shown that preliminary treatment of the protein component (histone H 3, protamine sulfate, polyarginine) of a DNA-protein complex with weak comb ined (42 mu T) and low-frequency (3.5-5.0 Hz) alternating (0.06 mu T) magne tic fields adjusted formally to the cyclotron resonance of amino acid ions charged under natural conditions leads to substantial changes in complex fo rmation and formation of complexes of a different type than without treatme nt.
