Article Synopsis
- Cryptochromes are flavoproteins that act as photoreceptors influencing plant development and circadian rhythms in animals, and have been linked to magnetic field perception.
- The study explored how a static magnetic field (500 μT) affects cryptochrome responses during specific light and dark cycles, finding that magnetic sensitivity increased during dark intervals, but not during light exposure.
- These findings suggest that the mechanism of magnetic field sensitivity is related to dark-state processes after cryptochrome activation, rather than occurring during light-dependent electron transfer.
