Spin relaxation of radicals in cryptochrome and its role in avian magnetoreception
Long‐lived spin coherence and rotationally‐ordered radical pairs have previously been identified as key requirements for the radical pair mechanism of the avian magnetic compass sense. Both criteria are hard to meet in a biological environment, where thermal motion of the radicals creates dynamic di...
