Abstract

Quantum differences of ortho/para H2O spin-isomers are considered as a key factor that determines water property taking into account the ortho/para conversion and the unbalanced (1: 1) ortho/para ratio in water. The biophysical mechanism of jump in the permeability of erythrocytes through a microcapillary at 36.6°C in water-based physiological solution and at 37.4°C in heavy water is proposed and discussed.
