Computational reconstruction reveals a candidate magnetic biocompass to be likely irrelevant for magnetoreception
Birds use the magnetic field of the Earth to navigate during their annual migratory travel. The possible mechanism to explain the biophysics of this compass sense involves electron transfers within the photoreceptive protein cryptochrome. The magnetoreceptive functioning of cryptochromes is supposed...
