text: CuHARS have been shown to completely degrade under physiological conditions (cell culture media at 37 °C), even in the absence of cells; this is possibly due to the metal chelating properties of typical cell culture medias.  These may include the copper-binding properties of cerulosplasmin  and of albumin.  Additionally, CuHARS have been shown to polarize light using inverted microscopy. Cobalt-containing MOBs (CoMOBs) have been shown to be susceptible to an externally applied magnetic field as shown in Figure 2.
