cryptochrome

Ritz and colleagues previously identified a molecule called cryptochrome, which is found in the nerves of avian eyes, as a candidate for controlling birds 'ability to sense magnetic fields.

Scientists have also studied a protein molecule, called cryptochrome, that drives the chemical processes behind the birds 'magnetic abilities.

When struck by blue light, cryptochrome and FAD both shift into an active state in which each molecule has an unpaired electron, creating a "radical pair."
