Description

Flavin semiquinone is a radical species formed by the one-electron reduction of a flavin molecule. It is a key intermediate in the catalytic cycle of many flavoproteins, which are enzymes that utilize flavin cofactors. Flavin semiquinone is known to play a role in electron transfer reactions, as well as in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is often characterized by its distinct electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum. Flavin semiquinones are also studied to understand their roles in the mechanisms of various biological processes, including cellular respiration and oxidative stress. Researchers investigate their properties and functions to develop new drugs and therapies for diseases related to flavin-dependent enzymes and oxidative stress.'
