Magnetic sensing by molecules, birds, and devices (ChemNav)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,
The sensory mechanisms that allow birds to perceive the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field for the purpose of navigation are only now beginning to be understood. One of the two leading hypotheses is founded on magnetically sensitive photochemical reactions in the retina. It is thought that transient photo-induced radical pairs in cryptochrome, a blue-light photoreceptor protein, act as the pr ...
