Discovery and functional analysis of a 4th electron-transferring tryptophan conserved exclusively in animal cryptochromes and (6-4) photolyases.

Résumé

A 4th electron transferring tryptophan in animal cryptochromes and (6-4) photolyases is discovered and functionally analyzed by transient absorption. It yields a much longer-lived flavin-tryptophan radical pair than the mere tryptophan triad in related flavoproteins, questioning the putative role of the primary light reaction of cryptochrome in animal magnetoreception.
