Q

What is a tetrapyrole system

A

A tetrapyrole system refers to a molecular structure consisting of four pyrrole rings linked together. Pyrrole is a five-membered aromatic ring containing four carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom. When four pyrrole rings are connected in a specific arrangement, they form a tetrapyrole system

A
21
Q

How is FAD reduced

A
22
Q

How does FMN and FAD link 2 e- and 1 e- transfer reactions

A

In 2e- transfer reactions, FMN and FAD can accept or donate two electrons at a time. The flavin cofactors alternate between their oxidized (quinone) and reduced (hydroquinone) forms. For example, during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria

In 1e- transfer reactions, FMN and FAD can also participate by accepting or donating one electron at a time. This is typically seen in reactions where the flavin cofactors act as intermediates in radical reactions

The ability of FMN and FAD to participate in both 2e- and 1e- transfer reactions stems from their chemical structure, which includes a flavin ring system capable of accepting or donating electrons, as well as a flexible adenine nucleotide portion that allows for interactions with various enzymes and substrates.
