Quantum Zeno Effect Permits Magnetosensitivity in Lipid Peroxidation despite Fluctuating Inter-Radical Coupling

-matrix anisotropy dominates, potentially leading to pronounced magnetosensitivity for fast recombination processes. Overall, our results demonstrate that magnetic field effects are viable in strongly coupled radical pairs within biological membranes, given appropriate dynamical and kinetic constraints, and highlight the potential for broader magnetosensitivity in confined, low-mobility biological environments than previously anticipated based on standard RPM models.

Abstract

-matrix anisotropy dominates, potentially leading to pronounced magnetosensitivity for fast recombination processes. Overall, our results demonstrate that magnetic field effects are viable in strongly coupled radical pairs within biological membranes, given appropriate dynamical and kinetic constraints, and highlight the potential for broader magnetosensitivity in confined, low-mobility biological environments than previously anticipated based on standard RPM models.
