Figure 4

Change in tubulin collective dipole modes due to the addition of anesthetic/non-anesthetic molecules for different binding sites. (a) Site specific changes for anesthetics and anesthetic/convulsant flurothyl shows a prominent downwards shift at (613 ± 8) THz, while non-anesthetics F6 and TFMB show an increase at this frequency band. (b) Maximum agent induced change in tubulin normal mode oscillation frequency at (613 ± 8) THz versus agent MAC. (Blue points – anesthetics; Red points - non-anesthetics; Green points – anesthetic/ convulsant).
