Measuring magnetic field effects in fluorescent flavoproteins via spin-dependent fluorescence intensity requires photoexcitation to be faster than spin-independent ground state recovery

Brian L Ross, Alessandro Lodesani, Clarice D. Aiello

The paper models how magnetic fields affect fluorescence in flavoproteins by analyzing parameter sets that enable spin-state-dependent fluorescence contrast.

The magnetic field-dependent fluorescence of MagLOV2 in live bacterial cells is consistent with the radical pair mechanism

Brian L Ross, Alessandro Lodesani, Clarice D. Aiello

The paper measures the magnetic field-dependent fluorescence of MagLOV2 in E. coli and finds non-monotonic behavior consistent with the radical pair mechanism.
