  • (13) 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.
  • (14) Microcoulometric titrations of NADH:nitrate reductase at 25 degrees C in Mops buffer, pH 7.0, showed that the native enzyme, containing functional FAD, haem and Mo, required addition of five electrons for complete reduction.

  • (16) The kinetic course of the reaction of methanol and deutero-methanol with FAD-dependent alcohol oxidase was investigated under single-turnover conditions [kred approximately equal to 15000 min-1 (1H3COH) and approximately equal to 4300 min-1 (2H3COH)] and multiple-turnover conditions [TNmax approximately equal to 6000 min-1 (1H3COH) and approximately equal to 3100 min-1 (2H3COH)].
  • (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.

Rad


Definition:
