Résumé
Microwave radiations from various electronic devices are of serious health concern. In this article, using spectroscopic measurements, we show that the microwave radiation of strength 22 dBm and frequency 10 GHz facilitates protein fibrillation. However, this adverse effect of low-field radiation can be restricted by the presence of biocompatible citrate-capped gold nanoparticles. The dissipative field by metallic particles is able to disrupt the fibrillar network. We believe that the obtained results paved a way to find a therapeutic measure to combat fibrillation related diseases.
