Excited flavin and pterin coenzyme molecules in evolution
Excited flavin and pterin molecules are active in intermolecular energy transfer and in photocatalysis of redox reactions resulting in conservation of free energy. Flavin-containing pigments produced in models...

Investigation of the photochemical properties of biopterin and its reduced forms
UV irradiation (270–390 nm, 20 min, I = 3.2 W m−2) of deaerated biopterin solution containing electron donor (Na2-EDTA) led to the formation of 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (H 2

Resistance of 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate to ultraviolet radiation
Aeration of aqueous solutions of 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid (MTHF) during exposure to ultraviolet irradiation (λ=300–390 nm, 240 W/m2, 30 min) slowed down photolysis in comparison with deaerated solutions....

Coenzymes in Evolution of the RNA World
One of the main problems of the origin of life studies is chemical interpretation of the emergence of organisms capable of both kee** genetic information and catalyzing chemical reactions. The discovery of c...
