Compass magnetoreception in birds arising from photo-induced radical pairs in rotationally disordered cryptochromes
According to the radical pair model, the magnetic compass sense of migratory birds relies on photochemical transformations in the eye to detect the direction of the geomagnetic field. Magnetically sensitive radical pairs are thought to be generated in cryptochrome proteins contained in magnetorecept...
