The dynamic field of flavin and flavoprotein biochemistry has seen rapid advancement in recent
years. This comprehensive two volume set provides an overview of all aspects of contemporary
research in this important class of enzymes. Topics treated include flavoproteins involved in
energy generation signal transduction and electron transfer (including respiration) oxygen
activation by flavoproteins the biology and biochemistry of complex flavoproteins flavin and
flavoprotein photochemistry photophysics as well as biotechnological applications of
flavoproteins. Recent developments in this field include new structures (including those of
large membrane-integral electron transfer complexes containing FMN or FAD) elucidation of the
role of flavoproteins in cell signalling pathways (including both phototaxis and the circadian
cycle) and important new insights into the reaction mechanisms of flavin-containing enzymes.
This volume focusing on complex flavoproteins and physical methods is an essential reference
for all researchers in biochemistry chemistry photochemistry and photophysics working on
flavoenzymes.
