The absorption spectra of roseoflavin analogues are very sensitive to solvent effect and the oxidising ability (in the photo-oxidation of l-benzyl-l,4-dihydronicotinamide) correlates well with the shift in the absorption maxima.
The two concepts, "remote functionalization" in steroid photochemistry and "lariat ethers" in crown ether chemistry are applied to design flavins with an allosteric functionality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
