Direct Interaction of Avian Cryptochrome 4 with a Cone Specific G-Protein

Direct Interaction of Avian Cryptochrome 4 with a Cone Specific G-Protein

Background: Night-migratory birds sense the Earth’s magnetic field by an unknown molecular mechanism. Theoretical and experimental evidence support the hypothesis that the light-induced formation of a radical-pair in European robin cryptochrome 4a (ErCry4a) is the primary signaling step in the retin...
