Effects of dynamical degrees of freedom on magnetic compass sensitivity: a comparison of plant and avian cryptochromes

<p>The&nbsp;magnetic&nbsp;compass&nbsp;of migratory birds is thought to rely on a radical pair reaction inside the blue-light photoreceptor protein cryptochrome. The&nbsp;sensitivity&nbsp;of such a sensor to weak external&nbsp;magnetic&nbsp;fields is determined by a...
