Abstract

We have explored the behavior of pair interaction in a suitable biradical when it is bound by van der Waals' forces in a nerve membrane. We have concomitantly examined a set of model solvents to represent this situation. It appears that the biradical suffers a restriction of internal motion with a minimal restraint on its external motion in the nerve medium. The biradical is so situated as not to respond to the passage of the action potential.
