Solid State Biology, Cellular Water Structure, and Ion Complexing with Application to Navy Medicine.

Abstract

This project is designed to provide better understanding of salt and water metabolism necessary to provide better methods of medical treatment of shock and of other disturbances of cell salt and water, and to provide the understanding of sold state physical PROCESSES IN BIOLOGY WHICH MAY facilitate IMPROVEMENT OF THE ELECTRICAL METHODS FOR stimulation OF HEALING OF BONE FRACTURES AND OF REGENERATION OF AMPUTATED LIMBS. Nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of potassium ion in muscle and on ion exchange resins have been measured and have been found to be similar to those of potassium ion in free solution. A comprehensive review of all aspects of solid state physics in biology has been published. Evidence has been obtained for solid state electron conduction during light emission in green algae.
