Flavin is a tricyclic heteronuclear organic ring whose biochemical source is the vitamin riboflavin.

Flavin radicals, conformational sampling and robust design principles in interprotein electron transfer: the trimethylamine dehydrogenase-electron-transferring flavoprotein complex ...
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD‚ FADH) another electron carrier‚ similar to NAD+ (plays a role in the Krebs cycle)
(FAD + 2 e- + 2 H+ FADH2; flav = yellow)
Flexor a muscle which bends a joint

Flavins Electron carriers that use riboflavin in electron-transfer reactions; FAD, FADH2, FMN, and FMNH2 are flavins.
Proflavin
An intercalating agent used as a frameshift mutagen.
Proofreading
Removal of mismatched base pairs during DNA replication by the 3' to 5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase, followed by resynthesis.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Function: prosthetic group of flavoprotein enzymes used in cellular respiration.
Sources: liver, eggs, cheese, milk, enriched bread and breakfast cereals.
Deficiency: damage to eyes, mouth, and genitals.
FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide)
FAD is reduced to FADH2. It can transfer two electrons to another molecule.
FAD + 2H ® FADH2 ...
flavin adenine dinucleotide A coenzyme that is a condensation product of riboflavin phosphate and adenylic acid; it forms the prosthetic group of certain enzymes; FAD.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Throughout the early 1900s, the use of deprivation studies allowed scientists to isolate and identify a number of vitamins.
Abbreviation of flavin adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme that functions as an electron acceptor in the Krebs cycle.
Fallopian tube
See Oviduct.
The fluorescence from endogenous cell constituents such as NADH, riboflavin and flavin coenzymes, which can contribute to background levels during cell imaging.
CAGED COMPOUNDS ...
Between Succinic Acid and Fumaric Acid, the molecular shifting releases not enough energy to make ATP or NADH outright, but instead this energy is captured by a new energy carrier, Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).
