Identification and characterization of a fluorescent flagellar protein from the brown alga Scytosiphon lomentaria (Scytosiphonales, Phaeophyceae): A flavoprotein homologous to Old Yellow Enzyme [PDF]
, 2005 The posterior flagellum of the zoospore of the brown alga Scytosiphon lomentaria exhibits bright green autofluorescence. To identify the fluorescent flagellar substance(s), we isolated flagella from zoospores and partially purified a flavoprotein by ...

Using Intrinsic Flavoprotein and NAD(P)H Imaging to Map Functional Circuitry in the Main Olfactory Bulb. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Neurons exhibit strong coupling of electrochemical and metabolic activity. Increases in intrinsic fluorescence from either oxidized flavoproteins or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) [NAD(P)H] in the mitochondria have been used as an ...

D-Amino Acid Oxidase-pLG72 Interaction and D-Serine Modulation
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018 pLG72 is a small, primate-specific protein of 153 amino acids. It is the product of the G72 gene, expressed in testis, spinal cord, and brain. The presence of G72 transcript and pLG72 has recurrently been called into question, however G72 mRNA and pLG72 ...

Reactions of electron-transfer flavoprotein and electron-transfer flavoprotein: ubiquinone oxidoreductase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1987 Electron-transfer flavoprotein:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF-Q oxidoreductase) catalyses the re-oxidation of reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF) with ubiquinone-1 (Q-1) as the electron acceptor. A kinetic assay for the enzyme was devised in which glutaryl-CoA in the presence of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase was used to reduce ETFox.

Predicting cervical cancer DNA methylation from genetic data using multivariate CMMP
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Epigenetic modifications link the environment to gene expression and play a crucial role in tumour development. DNA methylation, in particular, is gaining attention in cancer research, including cervical cancer, the focus of this study.

Determination of Flavin Potential in Proteins by Xanthine/Xanthine Oxidase Method
Bio-Protocol, 2020 This protocol describes a simple xanthine/xanthine oxidase enzymatic equilibration method for determination of the redox potential of a flavin. As an example of the use of this method, we determine the reduction potential of the covalently bound FAD ...
