The molecule flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binds to the cryptochrome and creates a sensitivity to magnetism, but there is some question that the cryptochromes are not essential to the process.
The reoxidation of reducing equivalents, NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FADH 2 (reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide), that are produced by the oxidation of carbohydrates (the ...
