Flavin dependent monooxygenases
Flavin-dependent monooxygenases catalyze a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantioselective oxygenation reactions. As such, they are involved in key biological processes ranging from catabolism, detoxification and biosynthesis, to light emission and axon guidance.

AbstractMethods for facile site‐selective modifications of proteins are in high demand. We have recently shown that a flavin transferase can be used for site‐specific covalent attachment of a chromo‐ and fluorogenic flavin (FMN) to any targeted protein. Although this Flavin‐tag method resulted in efficient labeling of proteins in vitro, labelling in E.

The World of Algae Reveals a Broad Variety of Cryptochrome Properties and Functions
Algae are photosynthetic eukaryotic (micro-)organisms, lacking roots, leaves, and other organs that are typical for land plants. They live in freshwater, marine, or terrestrial habitats.

Most flavin-dependent enzymes contain a dissociable flavin cofactor. We present a new approach for installing a covalent bond between a flavin cofactor and its hosting protein. By using a flavin transferase and carving a flavinylation motif in target proteins, we demonstrate that ‘dissociable’ flavoproteins can be turned into covalent flavoproteins ...

Enhanced small green fluorescent proteins as a multisensing platform for biosensor development
Engineered light, oxygen, and voltage (LOV)-based proteins are able to fluoresce without oxygen requirement due to the autocatalytic incorporation of exogenous flavin as a chromophore thus allowing for live cell imaging under hypoxic and anaerobic ...

Understanding flavin electronic structure and spectra
Flavins have emerged as central to electron bifurcation, signaling, and countless enzymatic reactions. In bifurcation, two electrons acquired as a pair are separated in coupled transfers wherein the energy of both is concentrated on one of the two.
