FAD is the more complex and abundant form of flavin and is reported to bind to 75% of the total flavoproteome [16] and 84% of human encoded flavoproteins. [17] Cellular concentrations of free or non-covalently bound flavins in a variety of cultured mammalian cell lines were reported for FAD (2.2-17.0 amol/cell) and FMN (0.46-3.4 amol/cell). [18]
The interface between the two monomers of a single dimer of an ACAD contains the FAD binding sites and has extensive bonding interactions. In contrast, the interface between the two dimers has fewer interactions. There are a total of 4 active sites within the tetramer, each of which contains a single FAD molecule and an acyl-CoA substrate ...
About 5-10% of flavoproteins have a covalently linked FAD. [2] Based on the available structural data, FAD-binding sites can be divided into more than 200 different types. [3] 90 flavoproteins are encoded in the human genome; about 84% require FAD and around 16% require FMN, whereas 5 proteins require both. [4]
Dehydrogenases typically fully reduce FAD to FADH 2. The production of FADH is rare. The double-bonded nitrogen atoms in FAD make it a good acceptor in taking two hydrogen atoms from a substrate. Because it takes two atoms rather than one, FAD is often involved when a double bond is formed in the newly oxidized substrate. [12]

There are 18 key atoms in isoalloxazine that make up its characteristic three-ring structure. The R-group varies and differentiates various flavins. Riboflavin. Flavins (from Latin flavus, "yellow") refers generally to the class of organic compounds containing the tricyclic heterocycle isoalloxazine or its isomer alloxazine, and derivatives thereof.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines "coenzyme" a little differently, namely as a low-molecular-weight, non-protein organic compound that is loosely attached, participating in enzymatic reactions as a dissociable carrier of chemical groups or electrons; a prosthetic group is defined as a tightly bound ...
The midpoint potential of the NAD + /NADH redox pair is −0.32 volts, which makes NADH a moderately strong reducing agent. [7] The reaction is easily reversible, when NADH reduces another molecule and is re-oxidized to NAD +. This means the coenzyme can continuously cycle between the NAD + and NADH forms without being consumed. [5]
