Distinct Structural Dynamics of the Semiquinone State Define a Signalling Pathway in Avian Cryptochrome
Monika Kish, Suchitra Pradhan, Jessica L. Ramsay +3
The light-dependent magnetic compass of night-migratory songbirds is widely hypothesized to rely on the radical pair mechanism within retinal cryptochrome. However, bridging the me…

Magnetoreception in cryptochrome enabled by one-dimensional radical motion
Jessica L. Ramsay, Daniel R. Kattnig
A popular hypothesis ascribes magnetoreception to a magnetosensitive recombination reaction of a pair of radicals in the protein cryptochrome. Many theoretical studies of this mode…
