Abstract
Iodotyrosine deiodinase (IYD) is unusual in its reliance on flavin to promote reductive dehalogenation of halotyrosines under aerobic conditions. Applications of this activity can be envisioned for bioremediation, but expansion of its specificity requires an understanding of the mechanistic steps that limit the rate of turnover. Key processes capable of controlling steady-state turnover have now been evaluated and described in this study. While proton transfer is necessary for converting the electron-rich substrate into an electrophilic intermediate suitable for reduction, kinetic solvent deuterium isotope effects suggest that this process does not contribute to the overall efficiency of catalysis under neutral conditions. Similarly, reconstituting IYD with flavin analogues demonstrates that a change in reduction potential by as much as 132 mV affects kcat by less than 3-fold. Furthermore, kcat/Km does not correlate with reduction potential and indicates that electron transfer is also not rate determining. Catalytic efficiency is most sensitive to the electronic nature of its substrates. Electron-donating substituents on the ortho position of iodotyrosine stimulate catalysis and conversely electron-withdrawing substituents suppress catalysis. Effects on kcat and kcat/Km range from 22- to 100-fold and fit a linear free-energy correlation with a ρ ranging from -2.1 to -2.8 for human and bacterial IYD. These values are consistent with a rate-determining process of stabilizing the electrophilic and nonaromatic intermediate poised for reduction. Future engineering can now focus on efforts to stabilize this electrophilic intermediate over a broad series of phenolic substrates that are targeted for removal from our environment.

Abstract
Redox titration of flavoproteins allows to detect and analyze (1) the determinants of the stabilization of individual redox forms of the flavin by the protein; (2) the binding of the redox-active cofactor to the protein; (3) the effects of other components of the systems (such as micro- or macromolecular interactors) on parameters 1 and 2; (4) the pattern of electron flow to and from the flavin cofactor to other redox-active chemical species, including those present in the protein itself or in its physiological partners. This overview presents and discusses the fundamentals of the methodological approaches most commonly used for these purposes, and illustrates how data may be obtained in a reliable way, and how they can be read and interpreted.

Abstract
NADH peroxidase (Npx) and mercuric ion reductase (MerA) are flavoproteins belonging to the pyridine nucleotide:disulfide oxidoreductases (PNDO) and catalyzing the reduction of toxic substrates, i.e., hydrogen peroxide and mercuric ion, respectively. To determine the role of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in the detoxification mechanism, the resonance Raman (RR) spectra of these enzymes under various redox and ligation states have been investigated using blue and/or near-UV excitation(s). These data were compared to those previously obtained for glutathione reductase (GR), another enzyme of the PNDO family, but catalyzing the reduction of oxidized glutathione. Spectral differences have been detected for the marker bands of the isoalloxazine ring of Npx, MerA, and GR. They provide evidence for different catalytic mechanisms in these flavoproteins. The RR modes of the oxidized and two-electron reduced (EH2) forms of Npx are related to very tight flavin-protein interactions maintaining a nearly planar conformation of the isoalloxazine tricycle, a low level of H-bonding at the N1/N5 and O2/O4 sites, and a strong H-bond at N3H. They also indicate minimal changes in FAD structure and environment upon either NAD(H) binding or reduction of the sulfinic redox center. All these spectroscopic data support an enzyme functioning centered on the Cys-SO-/Cys-S- redox moiety and a neighbouring His residue. On the contrary, the RR data on various functional forms of MerA are indicative of a modulation of both ring II distortion and H-bonding states of the N5 site and ring III. The Cd(II) binding to the EH2-NADP(H) complexes, biomimetic intermediates in the reaction of Hg(II) reduction, provokes important spectral changes. They are interpreted in terms of flattening of the isoalloxazine ring and large decreases in H-bonding at the N5 site and ring III. The large flexibility of the FAD structure and environment in MerA is in agreement with proposed mechanisms involving C4a(flavin) adducts.

Abstract
Flavin is a general name given to molecules having the heteroaromatic ring system of 7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine but practically means riboflavin (Rfl), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) in biological systems, whose structures are illustrated in Fig. 1, together with the atomic numbering scheme and ring numbering of the isoalloxazine moiety. As the isoalloxazine skeleton cannot be synthesized in human cells, it is obtained from diet as Rfl (vitamin B2). FAD and FMN can act as cofactors in flavoenzymes but Rfl does not. Most flavoenzymes catalyze redox reactions of substrates (Miura, Chem Rec 1:183-194, 2001). When O2 serves as the oxidant in the oxidation half cycle of an enzymic reaction, the enzyme is called "flavo-oxidase" but when others do, the enzyme is called "flavo-dehydrogenase." The difference between the two types of oxidative catalysis arises from delicate differences in the π-electron distributions in the isoalloxazine ring, which can be revealed by Raman spectroscopy (Miura, Chem Rec 1:183-194, 2001). Since a flavin is an extremely versatile molecule, the scientific field including chemistry, biochemistry, and enzymology is collectively called "flavonology." It was found recently, however, that the flavin also acts as a chromophore to initiate light-induced DNA repair and signal transductions (Sancar, Chem Rev 103:2203-2237, 2003).

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate flavins and flavoproteins, and a good understanding of the flavin vibrational normal modes is essential for the interpretation of the Raman spectra. Isotopic labeling is the most effective tool for the assignment of vibrational normal modes, but such studies have been limited to labeling of rings II and III of the flavin isoalloxazine ring. In this paper, we report the resonance and pre-resonance Raman spectra of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and its N5-methyl neutral radical semiquinone (5-CH 3FMN(*)), of which the 8-methyl group of ring I has been deuterated. The experiments indicate that the Raman bands in the low-frequency region are the most sensitive to 8-methyl deuteration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on lumiflavin to predict the isotope shifts, which are used to assign the calculated normal modes to the Raman bands of FMN. A first assignment of the low-frequency Raman bands on the basis of isotope shifts is proposed. Partial deuteration of the 8-methyl group reveals that the changes in the Raman spectra do not always occur gradually. These observations are reproduced by the DFT calculations, which provide detailed insight into the underlying modifications of the normal modes that are responsible for the changes in the Raman spectra. Two types of isotopic shift patterns are observed: either the frequency of the normal mode but not its composition changes or the composition of the normal mode changes, which then appears at a new frequency. The DFT calculations also reveal that the effect of H/D-exchange in the 8-methyl group on the composition of the vibrational normal modes is affected by the position of the exchanged hydrogen, i.e., whether it is in or out of the isoalloxazine plane.

Abstract
Cytokinin oxidases/dehydrogenases (CKOs) mediate catabolic regulation of cytokinin levels in plants. Several substrate analogs containing an unsaturated side chain were studied for their possible inhibitory effect on maize CKO (ZmCKO1) by use of various bioanalytical methods. Two allenic derivatives, N(6)-(buta-2,3-dienyl)adenine (HA-8) and N(6)-(penta-2,3-dienyl)adenine (HA-1), were identified as strong mechanism-based inhibitors of the enzyme. Despite exhaustive dialysis, the enzyme remained inhibited. Conversely, substrate analogs with a triple bond in the side chain were much weaker inactivators. The crystal structures of recombinant ZmCKO1 complexed with HA-1 or HA-8 were solved to 1.95 A resolution. Together with Raman spectra of the inactivated enzyme, it was revealed that reactive imine intermediates generated by oxidation of the allenic inhibitors covalently bind to the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor. The binding occurs at the C4a atom of the isoalloxazine ring of FAD, the planarity of which is consequently disrupted. All the compounds under study were also analyzed for binding to the Arabidopsis cytokinin receptors AHK3 and AHK4 in a bacterial receptor assay and for cytokinin activity in the Amaranthus bioassay. HA-1 and HA-8 were found to be good receptor ligands with a significant cytokinin activity. Nevertheless, due to their ability to inactivate CKO in the desired time intervals or developmental stages, they both represent attractive compounds for physiological studies, as the inhibition mechanism of HA-1 and HA-8 is mainly FAD dependent.

Abstract
A pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproduct and a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) are major DNA lesions induced by ultraviolet irradiation, and (6-4) photolyase, an enzyme with flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor, repairs the former specifically by light illumination. We investigated resonance Raman spectra of (6-4) photolyase from Arabidopsis thaliana having neutral semiquinoid and oxidized forms of FAD, which were selectively intensity enhanced by excitations at 568.2 and 488.0 nm, respectively. DFT calculations were carried out for the first time on the neutral semiquinone. The marker band of a neutral semiquinone at 1606 cm(-1) in H(2)O, whose frequency is the lowest among various flavoenzymes, apparently splits into two comparable bands at 1594 and 1608 cm(-1) in D(2)O, and similarly, that at 1522 cm(-1) in H(2)O does into three bands at 1456, 1508, and 1536 cm(-1) in D(2)O. This D(2)O effect was recognized only after being oxidized once and photoreduced to form a semiquinone again, but not by simple H/D exchange of solvent. Some Raman bands of the oxidized form were observed at significantly low frequencies (1621, 1576 cm(-1)) and with band splittings (1508/1493, 1346/1320 cm(-1)). These Raman spectral characteristics indicate strong H-bonding interactions (at N5-H, N1), a fairly hydrophobic environment, and an electron-lacking feature in benzene ring of the FAD cofactor, which seems to specifically control the reactivity of (6-4) photolyase.

Abstract
The LOV1 domain of the blue light Phot1-receptor (phototropin homolog) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been studied by vibrational spectroscopy. The FMN modes of the dark state of LOV1 were identified by preresonance Raman spectroscopy and assigned to molecular vibrations. By comparing the blue-light-induced FTIR difference spectrum with the preresonance Raman spectrum, most of the differences are due to FMN modes. Thus, we exclude large backbone changes of the protein that might occur during the phototransformation of the dark state LOV1-447 into the putative signaling state LOV1-390. Still, the presence of smaller amide difference bands cannot be excluded but may be masked by overlapping FMN modes. The band at 2567 cm(-1) is assigned to the S-H stretching vibration of C57, the residue that forms the transient thio-adduct with the chromophore FMN. The occurrence of this band is evidence that C57 is protonated in the dark state of LOV1. This result challenges conclusions from the homologous LOV2 domain from oat that the thiolate of the corresponding cysteine is the reactive species.

Abstract
The resonance Raman spectra of the oxidized and two-electron reduced forms of yeast glutathione reductase are reported. The spectra of the oxidized enzyme indicate a low electron density for the isoalloxazine ring. As far as the two-electron reduced species are concerned, the spectral comparison of the NADPH-reduced enzyme with the glutathione- or dithiothreitol-reduced enzyme shows significant frequency differences for the flavin bands II, III, and VII. The shift of band VII was correlated with a change in steric or electronic interaction of the hydroxyl group of a conserved Tyr with the N(10)-C(10a) portion of the isoalloxazine ring. Upward shifts of bands II and III observed for the glutathione- or dithiothreitol-reduced enzyme indicate both a slight change in isoalloxazine conformation and a hydrogen bond strengthening at the N(1) and/or N(5) site(s). The formation of a mixed disulfide intermediate tends to slightly decrease the frequency of bands II, III, X, XI, and XIV. To account for the different spectral features observed for the NADPH- and glutathione-reduced species, several possibilities have been examined. In particular, we propose a hydrogen bonding modulation at the N(5) site of FAD through a variable conformation of an ammonium group of a conserved Lys residue. Changes in N(5)(flavin)-protein interaction in the two-electron reduced forms of glutathione reductase are discussed in relation to a plausible mechanism of the regulation of the enzyme activity via a variable redox potential of FAD.

Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been used to examine the effects of electrostatic interactions and changing microenvironment on the pH-dependent redox properties of a flavin analog. The pKa value of the N1 proton for the reduced flavin analog was determined to be approximately 9.7 in the SAM of disulfide 5, 8.5 in the SAM of disulfide 7, and 6.7 when free in solution. The pyridinium ion of 7 stabilizes the anionic form of reduced flavin analog and provides a dielectric medium more closely resemblingthat experienced by the flavin analog free in solution.
