Singlet-triplet dephasing in radical pairs in avian cryptochromes leads to time-dependent magnetic field effects

Singlet-triplet dephasing in radical pairs in avian cryptochromes leads to time-dependent magnetic field effects

Cryptochrome 4a (Cry4a) has been proposed as the sensor at the heart of the magnetic compass in migratory songbirds. Blue-light excitation of this protein produces magnetically sensitive flavin–tryptophan radical pairs whose properties suggest that Cry4a could indeed be suitable as a magnetoreceptor...
