5-deazariboflavin

Description:

5-Deazariboflavin, with the CAS number 19342-73-5, is a synthetic derivative of riboflavin (vitamin B2) that features a modification in its structure, specifically the replacement of the nitrogen atom in the isoalloxazine ring with a carbon atom. This alteration affects its biochemical properties and interactions. The compound is characterized by its yellow-orange color, which is typical of flavin derivatives, and it exhibits fluorescence under UV light. 5-Deazariboflavin plays a role in various biochemical studies, particularly in the investigation of flavin-dependent enzymes and their mechanisms. It can act as a cofactor in certain enzymatic reactions, although its activity may differ from that of riboflavin due to the structural modification. Additionally, it is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for laboratory applications. Its unique properties make it a valuable tool in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to enzyme catalysis and electron transfer processes.

5-Deazariboflavin

CAS: 19342-73-5

5-Deazariboflavin is a proton carrier that is found in the mitochondrial cytochrome b. It has been shown to bind covalently to the protein, forming 5-deazariboflavin-protein adducts. These adducts are formed by reacting with amines and other amino acids present in the protein. In vitro studies have shown that 5-deazariboflavin inhibits Mycobacterium avium growth and acid production by binding to the enzyme pyruvate kinase, which is involved in glycolysis. 5-Deazariboflavin can also be used as an indicator of pH because it is reduced at low pH levels and oxidized at high pH levels. The second order rate constant for this reaction can be determined using kinetic data, such as absorbance or fluorescence properties.
