This off-shell effect is suppressed with respect to the effect of the well known flavour-changing magnetic-moment operator by the bound-state binding factor. Accordingly, the negligible off-shellness of the weakly bound QED atoms becomes important for strongly bound QCD atoms. We present this effect in two different model-approaches to QCD, one of them enabling us to keep close contact to the related effect in QED. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0007183v1
