QUANTUM CHEMISTRY. “A light-sensitive molecule (D) absorbs light and uses the light energy to transfer an electron to an acceptor (A); thereby, a radical pair is produced. If this radical pair is long-lived (>1 μs), then it can, depending on the spin of the electrons, exist in one of two states—a singlet state (spins antiparallel) or a triplet state (spins parallel). It is known from chemistry that singlet and triplet states have different chemical properties; thus, they often result in different chemical end products. Earth-strength magnetic fields can theoretically affect this statistical equilibrium and thereby modulate a presently unknown biochemical pathway.”
