Magnetic field effects on radical pair reactions: estimation ofB1/2for flavin-tryptophan radical pairs in cryptochromes

Abstract

Spin dynamics simulations are used to characterise the magnetic sensitivity of the flavin-tryptophan radical pair thought to be the detector in the magnetic compass sense of migratory songbirds.
