Abstract

The nuclear magnetic resonance technique was applied to determine the thickness of the non-mixing water layer that immediately adjoins the erythrocyte membrane. Five-minute irradiation with a mercury lamp in a "cold" mode of operation is determined to reduce the thickness of the non-mixing layer by 27%. Irradiation in the 546-nm individual spectral line is shown to also decrease the thickness of the near-membrane water layer by 15%.
