Viability of superoxide-containing radical pairs as magnetoreceptors
The ability of night-migratory songbirds to sense the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field is increasingly attributed to a photochemical mechanism in which the magnetic field acts on transient radical pairs in cryptochrome flavoproteins located in the birds’ eyes. The magnetically sensitive speci...
