Understanding the Importance of Water Heterogeneity in Biology
The heart is acknowledged as a pump in the body, but there are accessory biophysics that play a crucial role. Water has a net negative charge in coherent domains which impacts its properties significantly. Water is heterogeneous, with different compositions in various biological processes. Water from the tap differs from water in different biological systems like blood and mitochondria, the latter having varying deuterium levels. Researchers argue that understanding these differences, such as the deuterium content, is crucial to comprehending water's influence in biological functions.
