  2. Flavin adenine dinucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin_adenine_dinucleotide

    In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox-active coenzyme associated with various proteins, which is involved with several enzymatic reactions in metabolism. A flavoprotein is a protein that contains a flavin group , which may be in the form of FAD or flavin mononucleotide (FMN).

  3. Flavin group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin_group

    The flavin moiety is often attached with an adenosine diphosphate to form flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and, in other circumstances, is found as flavin mononucleotide (or FMN), a phosphorylated form of riboflavin. It is in one or the other of these forms that flavin is present as a prosthetic group in flavoproteins.

  4. Flavin mononucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin_mononucleotide

    Flavin mononucleotide (FMN), or riboflavin-5′-phosphate, is a biomolecule produced from riboflavin (vitamin B 2) by the enzyme riboflavin kinase and functions as the prosthetic group of various oxidoreductases, including NADH dehydrogenase, as well as a cofactor in biological blue-light photo receptors. [1]

  5. Flavoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavoprotein

    Flavoproteins have either FMN (flavin mononucleotide) or FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) as a prosthetic group or as a cofactor. The flavin is generally tightly bound (as in adrenodoxin reductase, wherein the FAD is buried deeply). [1] About 5-10% of flavoproteins have a covalently linked FAD. [2]

  6. Flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin_adenine...

    Flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLAD1 gene. [5] Function. This gene encodes the enzyme that catalyzes ...

  7. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinamide_adenine...

    Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme central to metabolism. [3] Found in all living cells, NAD is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adenine nucleobase and the other, nicotinamide.

  8. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyl-CoA_dehydrogenase

    Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a required co-factor in addition to the presence of an active site glutamate in order for the enzyme to function. The following reaction is the oxidation of the fatty acid by FAD to afford an α,β-unsaturated fatty acid thioester of coenzyme A:

  9. Cofactor (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cofactor_(biochemistry)

    Other coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), biotin, and lipoamide, for instance, are tightly bound. [28] Tightly bound cofactors are, in general, regenerated during the same reaction cycle, while loosely bound cofactors can be regenerated in a subsequent reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme.
