THE STATE OF WATER IN LIVING TISSUES (RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS BY THE METHOD OF YaMR SPIN ECHO)
Abstract
Coefficients of self-diffusion have been obtained for water in cells of various live tissues. The relatively low values for the coefficient of self- diffusion of water in the protoplasm of cells of various tissues in comparison with pure water are conditioned mainly by the effect of microbarriers and only to an insignificant degree by the effect of hydration. The energy of activation of self-diffusion of water in a cell is close to the energy of activation of self-diffusion of pure water. The structure of water in hyaloplasm is very close (or the same) to the structure of ordinary water in vitro. An appraisal was made of the water in various tissues which differs strongly in its properties from ordinary water.
