Origin of Light-Induced Spin-Correlated Radical Pairs in Cryptochrome

Blue-light excitation of cryptochromes and homologues uniformly triggers electron transfer (ET) from the protein surface to the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor. A cascade of three conserved tryptophan residues has been considered to be critically involved in this photoreaction. If the FAD...
