Abstract The effect of THz radiation on coupling between albumin molecules under aerobic and anaerobic conditions is assessed through an EPR-quantified procedure. Rearrangements induced by terahertz radiation are found to affect the hydrogen bonding network causing an increase in the rate of bimolecular interactions. Molecular mechanism of the observed effect is considered involving the interactions between the functional groups of albumin molecules. Irradiation causes conformational changes in albumin molecules, which involves changes in the steric states of molecules. These rearrangements hinder or simplify the adsorption of specific agents on the reactive sites of albumin molecules.
