One possible explanation for magnetosensing in biology, such as avian magnetoreception, is based on the spin dynamics of certain chemical reactions that involve radical pairs. Radical pairs have been suggested to also play a role in anesthesia, hyperactivity, neurogenesis, circadian clock rhythm, microtubule assembly, etc. It thus seems critical to probe the credibility of such models. One way to do so is through isotope effects with different nuclear spins. Here we briefly review the papers involving spin-related isotope effects in biology. We suggest studying isotope effects can be an interesting avenue for quantum biology.
生物学中磁传感（如鸟类磁感受）的一种可能解释是基于某些涉及自由基对的化学反应的自旋动力学。自由基对也被认为在麻醉、多动、神经发生、昼夜节律、微管组装等过程中发挥作用。因此，探究此类模型的可信度似乎至关重要。一种方法是通过具有不同核自旋的同位素效应来实现。在此，我们简要回顾一下涉及生物学中自旋相关同位素效应的论文。我们认为研究同位素效应可能是量子生物学一个有趣的研究途径。
