This study shows non-equilibrium vibrational dynamics dominate ultrafast electron transfer in ErCry4a, challenging Marcus theory and refining spectroscopic interpretations.

This study investigates the magnetic properties of CRY4a in Japanese quail, showing similarities to robin CRY4a, suggesting quail as a potential model for studying magnetoreception in migratory birds.

The paper investigates whether ErCRY4a binds 8-HDF or MTHF and finds no evidence of binding, suggesting it may function with only FAD as a cofactor.

The paper detects full-length CRY1 protein in blue cone photoreceptors of human and great ape retinas, suggesting non-clock functions and potential isoform diversity.

The paper investigates whether ErCry4b in European robins can function as a radical pair magnetic sensor, finding it lacks FAD binding and is not expressed at detectable levels.

This study investigates how ErCry4a interacts with lipid membranes, showing that its binding depends on lipid physical state and involves specific molecular interactions that may support magnetoreception.

The paper compares retinol binding protein and cone-specific G-protein as potential effectors in cryptochrome signalling, finding no robust interaction between retinol binding protein and cryptochrome 4a without retinol.
