Magnetically sensitive light-induced reactions in cryptochrome are consistent with its proposed role as a magnetoreceptor.
Among the biological phenomena that fall within the emerging field of "quantum biology" is the suggestion that magnetically sensitive chemical reactions are responsible for the magnetic compass of migratory birds. It has been proposed that transient radical pairs are formed by photo-induce...
