Cryptochrome magnetoreception: Time course of photoactivation from non-equilibrium coarse-grained molecular dynamics

Magnetoreception, the ability to sense magnetic fields, is widespread in animals but remains poorly understood. The leading model links this ability in migratory birds to the photo-activation of the protein cryptochrome. Magnetic information is thought to induce structural changes in cryptochrome vi...
