Flavins are highly versatile redox-active and colored cofactors in a large variety of proteins.
These do include photoenzymes and photoreceptors, although the vast majority performs …

This review (with 106 references) mainly deals with the analytical applications of flavin-
adenine dinucleotide (FAD) fluorescence. In the first section, the spectroscopic properties of …

A novel flavin-dipicolylamine conjugate was designed for highly selective and sequential
recognition of zinc and phosphate ions based on OFF-ON-OFF mode of detection. While …

The primary step in the mechanism by which migratory birds sense the Earth's magnetic field
is thought to be the light-induced formation of long-lived magnetically sensitive radical pairs …

Multidimensional spectroscopy is the optical analog to nuclear magnetic resonance, probing
dynamical processes with ultrafast time resolution. At optical frequencies, the technical …

Abstract Blue Light Using Flavin (BLUF) domains are increasingly being adopted for use in
optogenetic constructs. Despite this, much remains to be resolved on the mechanism of their …

Photoexcitation of the flavin chromophore in the BLUF photosensor AppA results in a
conformational change that leads to photosensor activation. This conformational change is …

Herein, we report the design and synthesis of an amphiphilic flavin analogue as a robust low
molecular weight gelator involving minimal structural modification. Four flavin analogues …

Tyrosine (TyrOH) and tryptophan radicals play important roles as intermediates in
biochemical charge-transfer reactions. Tryptophanyl radicals have been observed both in …

Photolyases are flavoenzymes repairing UV-induced lesions in DNA, which may be
activated by a photoreduction of their FAD cofactor. In most photolyases, this photoreduction …
