Naturally cysteine-less LOV domains from halophilic archaea exhibit magnetic field effects on their fluorescence

Magnetic fields can modulate the function of certain flavoproteins through the radical pair mechanism, in which they influence the spin evolution of a coherent pair of radicals.

Magnetic fields can modulate the function of certain flavoproteins through the radical pair mechanism, in which they influence the spin evolution of a coherent pair of radicals. This process can result in magneto-fluorescence, in which magnetic fields modulate the intensity of…
