Oxygen Activation by Flavins and Pterins
As discussed in other chapters in this volume, the high reduction potential of O2 makes it thermodynamically an excellent oxidizing agent for most biochemicals. However, the activation energy for these reactions ...

Mechanisms of flavoprotein-catalyzed reactions
Flavoproteins are a class of enzymes catalyzing a very broad spectrum of redox processes by different chemical mechanisms. This review describes the best studied of these mechanisms and discusses factors possi...

Flavoproteins; Correlation of Structure and Function
Ladies and Gentlemen — Dr. King — It is a great pleasure, of course, to be here. This morning I also want to start with a little recollection: 30 years ago when Tsoo King came to Cambridge, I had just left to ...

Flavoproteins: Correlation of Structure and Function
The differences in properties among different flavoproteins and their differences from the free coenzymes have long intrigued workers in this field. For example, in the oxidized state, free flavins have an int...

Scope and limitation of single electron transfer in biology
This article is thought to be a supplement to an earlier one “Mechanism of Hydrogen Transfer in Redox Enzymes”33). Most of the basic concepts and hypotheses put forward then, are still valid. Substantial new evid...

Possible Photoregulation by Flavoproteins
A wide variety of biological phenomena are blue light-dependent, responding to light of wavelengths below 500 nm. This topic has been the subject of many review articles; a recent one by Schmidt (1) is particu...

A New Intermediate in TPNH-Linked Flavoproteins
The early studies of Michaelis et. al. (1) clearly indicated that partial reduction of the flavin coenzymes led to the production of colored radical intermediates. Except for the catio-nic radical, which is produ...

Crystallization of Fumarase
IN 1941 fumarase was claimed to have been isolated in crystalline form1; but it has since been shown2–4 that this crystalline material contained considerable quantities of lactic dehydrogenase and aconitase. In t...

Effects of Oxygen Carriers and Oxygen Tensions on Fluoroacetate Inhibition of Citrate Utilization
AFTER comparing the action of fluoroacetate on the respiration and citrate utilization in pigeon breast muscle and nematode parasites, Massey and Rogers1 reported that the poison had little action on the pigeon b...

Fluoroacetate and the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in Nematode Parasites
CONCEPTIONS of the mode of action of fluoroacetate are varied and conflicting, according to the biological material studied1–5. Another reaction of fluoroacetate, in nematode parasites, in which it appears to inh...
