Magnetic-field effect on the photoactivation reaction of Escherichia coli DNA photolyase.

One of the two principal hypotheses put forward to explain the primary magnetoreception event underlying the magnetic compass sense of migratory birds is based on a magnetically sensitive chemical reaction. It has been proposed that a spin-correlated radical pair is produced photochemically in a cry...
