Molecular model showing the formation of an electron-radical pair by the action of a photon on the FAD molecule that is protonated and accepts electrons from the adjacent tryptophans. The structure is from a drosophila cryptochrome and the charge gap passes from the adjacent tryptophan 420 to the next w397 and from it to w342. This radical pair is sensitive to weak magnetic fields. | |
