The energetics of electrochemical changes have been investigated for several substituted flavins with the M06-L density functional. The reduction potentials for one- and two-electron reductions of these molecules have been determined and the results are consistent with experimental findings with

We have studied the functional steps by which Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria can synthesize FAD from cytosolic riboflavin (Rf). Riboflavin uptake into mitochondria took place via a mechanism that is consistent with the existence of (at least two) carrier systems. FAD

We investigated the oxidation behavior of 5-ethyl-4a-hydroxy-3-methyl-4a,5-dihydrolumiflavin (pseudobase Et-FlOH) in acetonitrile with the aim of determining if the two-electron oxidized Et-FlOH(2+) undergoes a release of hydroxyl cation and the production of 5-ethyl-3methyllumiflavinium cation (Et-Fl(+)). The focus of this work is

In mammalian cells (including those of the ocular system), the water-soluble vitamin B2 (riboflavin, RF) assumes an essential role in a variety of metabolic reactions and is critical for normal cellular functions, growth and development. Cells of the human retinal

The binding behavior of lumiflavin, a biologically vital ligand, with DNA duplexes containing an abasic (AP) site and various target nucleobases opposite the AP site is studied. Lumiflavin binds selectively to thymine (T) opposite the AP site in a DNA
