This is a foundational tool for remote control of biological processes, also known as "magnetogenetics".
Can you tell when the magnetic field turns on and off?

We estimate a handheld magnet changes the binding affinity by ~3x.
This is the world's first (real) demonstration of "magnetogenetics" - controlling protein function with nontoxic, tissue-penetrating magnetic fields.
