Polymeric model systems for flavoenzyme activity: towards synthetic flavoenzymes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the synthesis of a water-soluble flavin polymer using ATRP, whereby the oligoethylene glycol backbone provides both a local hydrophobic environment and redox tuning of the flavin moiety typical of flavoenzyme prototypes.

متن کاملThe Study of NADPH-Dependent Flavoenzyme-Catalyzed Reduction of Benzo[1,2-c]1,2,5-oxadiazole N-Oxides (Benzofuroxans)
UNLABELLED The enzymatic reactivity of a series of benzo[1,2-c]1,2,5-oxadiazole N-oxides (benzofuroxans; BFXs) towards mammalian single-electron transferring NADPH:cytochrome P-450 reductase (P-450R) and two-electron (hydride) transferring NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) was examined in this work. Since the =N+ (→O)O- moiety of furoxan fragments of BFXs bears some similarity to the arom...
متن کاملRole of Charge-transfer Interactions in Flavoprotein Catalysis
The last decade has produced a veritable explosion of knowledge on the chemical reactivity of the isoalloxazine ring system of the flavin coenzymes, largely because of a side-by-side development with knowledge of flavoenzymes and model flavin studies. In this period the visible absorption spectra and epr spectra of the flavin semiquinone in its cationic, neutral, and anionic forms have been def...
متن کاملRationally engineered flavin-dependent oxidase reveals steric control of dioxygen reduction.
UNLABELLED The ability of flavoenzymes to reduce dioxygen varies greatly, and is controlled by the protein environment, which may cause either a rapid reaction (oxidases) or a sluggish reaction (dehydrogenases). Previously, a 'gatekeeper' amino acid residue was identified that controls the reactivity to dioxygen in proteins from the vanillyl alcohol oxidase superfamily of flavoenzymes. We have ...
