Over time, organisms have evolved strategies to cope with the abundance of dioxygen on
Earth. Oxygen-utilizing enzymes tightly control the reactions involving O2 mostly by …

Flavoenzymes are colourful oxidoreductases that catalyze a large variety of different types of
reactions. Flavoenzymes have been extensively studied for their structural and mechanistic …

Azo dyes and their intermediate degradation products are common contaminants of soil and
groundwater in develo** countries where textile and leather dye products are produced …

Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases represent useful biocatalytic tools, as they can catalyze
reactions which are difficult to achieve using chemical means. However, only a limited …

Cofactor-dependent enzymes catalyze a broad range of synthetically useful transformations.
However, the cofactor requirement also poses economic and practical challenges for the …

Azo dyes are a predominant class of colourants used in tattooing, cosmetics, foods and
consumer products. A gene encoding NADPH-flavin azoreductase (Azo1) from the skin …

Neurons are extremely energy demanding cells and highly dependent on the mitochondrial
oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Mitochondria generate the energetic potential …

Many enzymes use one or more cofactors, such as biotin, heme, or flavin. These cofactors
may be bound to the enzyme in a noncovalent or covalent manner. Although most …

Flavoprotein monooxygenases create valuable compounds that are of high interest for the
chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries, among others. Monooxygenases …

The blue-light induced photo-degradation of FMN, FAD, riboflavin, lumiflavin, and
lumichrome in aqueous solution at pH 8 is studied by measurement of absorption coefficient …
