Apparently glass catfish can detect magnetic field using a 133 amino acid protein. I had thought that detecting magnetic was performed by magnetic
particles in cells. Apparently the protein does not contain any iron but I guess it could contain other magnetic elements or unpaired electrons.
Its fascinating how a research group tracked the protein down. Eventually inserting the cloned gene for the protein in to the brain cells of a rats
and detecting the rats response to magnetic fields.
Wireless control of cellular function by activation of a novel protein responsive to electromagnetic fields.
