The role of the isoalloxazine coating is proposed to be surface passivation from molecular oxygen. |
|
Flavins are arguably one of the most versatile cofactors by virtue of the reactivity of the isoalloxazine ring system. |
|
In Anabaena Flavodoxin both the protein environment and the redox state contribute to modulate the chemical reactivity of the isoalloxazine ring. |
|
This suggests that the isoalloxazine moiety is sufficient for catalysis. |
|
Stronger interactions between the isoalloxazine and nicotinamide rings might relate with faster HT processes, but exceptions are found upon distortion of the active centre. |
|
Flavine adenine dinucleotide exhibits fluorescence due to its isoalloxazine conjugated ring structure. |
