Systematic screening of brain neurotransmitter enzymes for radical pair mechanism competence reveals quantitative constraints on magnetic field sensitivity

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The radical pair mechanism (RPM) is experimentally validated in avian magnetoreception via cryptochrome\textsuperscript{\ref{ref:Xu2021},\ref{ref:Hore2016}}, but whether RPM-competent sites exist more broadly among brain enzymes remains unknown. Here we screen nine phosphorus-containing human brain proteins computationally, assigning cofactor-specific $^{31}$P hyperfine coupling constan...
