Flavins And Flavoproteins

In Flavins and Flavoproteins: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used to study flavins and flavoproteins. These include review style methods and protocols to exemplify the variety, the power and the success of modern techniques and methods in application to flavoproteins. Part I of this Volume covers general properties, syntheses and applications of free flavins as well as its analogs and flavoproteins. Part II covers characterizations of flavins and flavoproteins using modern experimental techniques as well as theoretical methods. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, the chapters include the kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is crucial for getting optimal results in the laboratory. Thorough and intuitive, Flavins and Flavoproteins: Methods and Protocols aids scientists in continuing to tackle the countless questions that need to be answered to more fully comprehend the vast diversity and specificity of flavin-governed biological processes.

This book contains articles based on oral and poster presentations at the 17th International Symposium on Flavins and Flavoproteins, which was held July 24-29, 2011 at the University of California Berkeley in the USA. These triennial conferences highlight the latest advances in the field and the conference proceedings book serves both as documentation of the event and as a reference.

No detailed description available for "Flavins and Flavoproteins 1987".

This publication, a collection of 174 papers, encompasses the fundamental and intricate photochemistry and electron transfer of flavins and flavoproteins, the mechanisms associated with enzymes utilising flavins (such as dehydrogenases, reductases, oxidases, monooxygenases, synthases, peroxidases), the three-dimensional structures of flavoproteins and flavoenzymes and the emerging role of flavins and flavoproteins in medicine. Flavins and Flavoproteins 1996 continues the series which has appeared every three years since 1965. Presented are overviews of key areas of flavin research, coupled with the most recent understanding of the chemistry/photochemistry of flavins and the structure/function relationship of numerous proteins/enzymes that use flavins as essential cofactors. Key Features: Detailed studies on the structure and mechanism of flavoenzymes are reported together with newly discovered medical aspects; New research of high quality with extensive data, figures and bibliographies; The interaction of flavins with other electron carriers such as the cytochromes, metals, and non-heme iron centres is investigated with a variety of spectrophotometric techniques; NMR and crystallography studies have provided new three-dimensional structures of several flavoenzymes and flavoproteins; Numerous papers on an extensive number of flavoenzymes and complex flavoproteins are presented.
