Isotope substitution effects on the magnetic compass properties of cryptochrome-based radical pairs: a computational study
The biophysical mechanism of the magnetic compass sense of migratory songbirds is thought to rely on the photochemical reactions of flavin-containing radical pairs in cryptochrome proteins located in the birds’ eyes. A consequence of this hypothesis is that the effect of the Earth’s magnetic field o...
