- 15. Advantages of Using Magnetic Proteins • Less immunogenic? Less toxic? • Small (~20nm) • Controlled levels of iron loading • Tuneable for multiplexing • Consistent valency • Inexpensive to produce • Scalable and reproducible • Biodegradable
- 16. Our magnetic proteins are super para-magnetic. •At 300K, M(H) curves are straight lines (paramagnetic). At 2K, curvature fits Langevin function (expected for paramagnetic particles). •The effective number of Bohr magnetons and density for each magnetic particle was between 1.5 to 1.6 (pure iron ~2.2 Bohr magnetons). 5.0 Tesla SQUID (Quantum Design). Magnetic moments at 300K and 2K for fields up to 5 Tesla.

- BLANK.POT Alongside these developments in medical practice and the individualisation of care, the role of the patient will doubtless change; my final illustration of the impact of innovation. Patients (as you can see) are now becoming active, involved consumers of healthcare - a trend which will not be welcome to every doctor! Patient support groups are more common and more active and the Internet is transforming the amount of direct information that can be accessed directly by patients. At the start of this year, some 15,000 Internet sites carried health information. In the USA, two thirds of Web users – that’s around 30 million people - get medical information from the Internet. In Europe, it is anticipated that the number of on-line households will increase from 7 per cent in 1998 to 27 per cent in 2002.
