چکیده
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 possibly governing reactivity and specificity.

Chemical Nature and Reaction Mechanisms of the Molybdenum Cofactor of Xanthine Oxidoreductase
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), a complex flavoprotein, catalyzes the metabolic reactions leading from hypoxanthine to xanthine and from xanthine to urate, and both reactions take place at the molybdenum cofactor. The enzyme is a target of drugs for therapy of gout or hyperuricemia. We review the chemical nature and reaction mechanisms of the molybdenum cofactor of XOR, focusing on molybdenum-de...
متن کاملFlavoprotein monooxygenases for oxidative biocatalysis: recombinant expression in microbial hosts and applications
External flavoprotein monooxygenases comprise a group of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases that catalyze the insertion of one atom of molecular oxygen into an organic substrate and the second atom is reduced to water. These enzymes are involved in a great number of metabolic pathways both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Flavoprotein monooxygenases have attracted the attention of researchers for s...
متن کاملEthylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether–Induced Toxicity Is Mediated through the Inhibition of Flavoprotein Dehydrogenase Enzyme Family
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) is a widely used industrial solvent known to cause adverse effects to human and other mammals. Organs with high metabolism and rapid cell division, such as testes, are especially sensitive to its actions. In order to gain mechanistic understanding of EGME-induced toxicity, an untargeted metabolomic analysis was performed in rats. Male rats were administra...
متن کاملBenign synthesis of N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-one derivatives via ZnO nanoparticle-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation/intramolecular enamination reaction
An efficient construction of 2-(N-arylamino)benzaldehydes and N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-one derivatives starting from 2- hydroxybenzaldehydes has been developed. The synthesis of N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-ones is based on the Knoevenagel condensation of dimedone to various 2-(N-arylamino)benzaldehydes, followed by an intramolecular enamination in the presence of 20 mol% of nanocry...
متن کاملModeling of Reversible Chain Transfer Catalyzed Polymerization by Moment Equations Method
A moment equations method was performed to study the Reversible chain Transfer Catalyzed Polymerization (RTCP) of styrene in 80°C. To do this, a kinetic scheme containing conventional free radical polymerization reactions and equilibrium reactions of RTCP was assumed. After obtaining mass balance equations, three moment equations were defined for free and dormant radicals and dead chains. M...
