Magnetic field effect in natural cryptochrome explored with model compound
Many animals sense the Earth’s magnetic-field and use it for navigation. It is proposed that a light-dependent quantum effect in cryptochrome proteins, residing in the retina, allows for such an iron-free spin-chemical compass. The photochemical processes, spin-dynamics and its magnetic field depend...
