  • (17) It had been shown that thyroxine regulates the conversion of riboflavin to riboflavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in laboratory animals.
  • (18) The value of P of the enzyme is dependent on its concentration, indicating that the degrees of dissociation of FAD in the monomer and dimer are different.
  • (19) We now provide evidence for a major early onset FAD locus on the long arm of chromosome 14 near the markers D14S43 and D14S53 (multipoint lod score z = 23.4) and suggest that the inheritance of FAD may be more complex than had initially been suspected.
  • (20) Thus, the low activity resulting from an inherited deficiency of FAD is decreased further.

Flavin


Definition:

  • (n.) A yellow, vegetable dyestuff, resembling quercitron.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Since acid phosphatase probably functions as a flavin-mononucleotide phosphatase, differential modulation of flavo-enzyme activity and energy metabolism due to acid phosphatase genetic variability may explain the observed association.
  • (2) Sulphite bleached the flavin of cellobiose oxidase, but gave no reaction with the 31 kDa haem protein, suggesting an absence of flavin.
  • (3) Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) was covalently attached to an electron-conducting support, i.e., glassy carbon.
  • (4) On exhaustion of NADH, with residual oxygen, decay occurs in two phases to give a form in which haem b and flavin are oxidized.
  • (5) It is postulated that in addition to the well-known flavin reaction, formation of H(2)O(2) may be due to interaction with an energy-dependent component of the respiratory chain at the cytochrome b level.
  • (6) Hydrophobic flavins were more efficient traps than the hydrophilic ones, and values of the Km for the phenylglyoxal: glutathione hemithiolacetal adduct measured by the flavin-reaction and by normal steady-state kinetics were closely similar.
  • (7) Liver microsomal flavin-containing monooxygenase (MFMO) has been shown to exhibit a stable 4a-flavin hydroperoxide intermediate in the absence of oxygenatable substrate (Poulsen, L. L., and Ziegler, D. M. (1979) J. Biol.
  • (8) The enzymatic hydroxylation reactions of flavin monooxygenases are suggested to involve an oxaziridine as the active oxygenating agent.
  • (9) The N5 atom of flavin interacts with the amide NH of Ile 59 in A.
  • (10) Other analogs, m-cresol, m-ethylphenol, 4-ethylresorcinol, and phloroglucinol, mimic orcinol as effectors, in that they (a) accelerate electron flow from NADH to the flavin and (b) decrease the apparent K-m for NADH but not to the same extent as the substrates that are hydroxylated.
  • (11) Thus, ETF appears to contain one flavin (at least 90% FAD, by chromatographic and fluorescence characteristics) per 26,000 M-r, and therefore may be composed of two subunits with one flavin each.
  • (12) The total amount of flavins in the embryo increased with development.
  • (13) NADPH reduction of the heme occurs only in the presence of substrate suggesting, by analogy with the cytochrome P-450CAM system, a possible increase in iron redox potential of the heme upon substrate binding which facilitates electron transfer from the flavins to the heme.
  • (14) Upon fluorescence spectroscopic examination, the enzyme from melanoma was shown to contain flavin adenine dinucleotide as previously shown in the enzymes from E. coli and rat liver.
  • (15) Antibodies raised against rat liver flavin-monooxygenase reacted strongly with human kidney microsomes but extremely weakly with liver microsomes.

  • (19) The results suggest that the active site of hog liver flavin-containing monooxygenase places greater constraints than that of cytochrome P-450IIB-1 on substrate orientation, but in both cases trans-S-oxide formation is strongly preferred possibly due to steric interactions of the substrate and the active site.
  • (20) Lung tissue contains other enzymic systems which are capable of catalyzing phase I biostransformation pathways (e.g., flavin-containing amine monooxygenase, amine oxidase, and prostaglandin synthase).
