Molecular dynamics simulations disclose early stages of the photo-activation of cryptochrome 4

Molecular dynamics simulations disclose early stages of the photo-activation of cryptochrome 4

Birds appear to be equipped with a light-dependent, radical-pair-based magnetic compass that relies on truly quantum processes. While the identity of the sensory protein has remained speculative, cryptochrome 4 has recently been identified as the most auspicious candidate. Here, we report on all-ato...
