| Citation | Peter Hore is distinguished for his pioneering work on the biophysical chemistry of electron and nuclear spins and their effects on chemical reactivity. Using specifically developed spin dynamics simulation methods and sensitive spectroscopic techniques, he has made major contributions to our understanding of how migratory songbirds sense the geomagnetic field for the purposes of orientation and navigation. This has involved the first demonstration that a chemical reaction can be influenced by a magnetic field as weak as that of the Earth. He has exploited the unique properties of spin-correlated radical pairs to develop new magnetic resonance methods for studying protein folding and new techniques for the interpretation of magnetic resonance data on the primary events of solar energy conversion. |
