Exploring the photochemistry and photosignalling mechanisms in cryptochromes and related model systems
<p>The ability of migratory birds to sense and use the Earth’s magnetic field during migration is hypothesised to involve cryptochrome proteins located in their retinae. It is proposed that photo-initiated reactions within these proteins generate radical pairs (RPs) as transient intermediates,...
