Spectral and Photochemical Assessments of Interactions of the Flavin Ring System with Amino Acid Residues

  • Conference paper
Excited States in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry

Part of the book series: The Jerusalem Symposia on Quantum Chemistry and Biochemistry ((JSQC,volume 10))

Abstract

The light-reactivity of flavins has been of interest since the recognition that the vitamin B2 activity extracted from natural materials was attributable to yellow, fluorescent compounds, which were subsequently found to function as oxidation-reduction coenzymes bound to appropriate proteins (1).
