flavin adenine dinucleotide. a coenzyme that functions in the production of ATP.
Abbreviation for flavine adenine dinucleotide, an electron acceptor in the respiratory chain.
(see: flavin adenine dinucleotide).
flavin adenine dinucleotide. An energy carrier from succinate to complex II of the electron transport system. Actually part of complex II. Synthesized from the vitamin riboflavin (B2).
flavin adenine dinucleotide. A coenzyme important in oxidative phosphorylation; cycles between the oxidized (FADH2) and reduced (FAD) states.
flavin adenine dinucleotide) A coenzyme that participates in oxidation reactions by accepting two electrons from a donor molecule and two H+ from the solution. The reduced form, FADH2, transfers electrons to carriers that function in oxidative phosphorylation. ( Figure 16-8)
Flavin adenine dinucleotide. A riboflavin-containing enzyme needed by your mitochondria to release energy.
flavin adenine dinucleotide. a coenzyme found in a number of enzymes that catalyze redox reactions.
Abbreviation for Flavin-adenine dinucleotide.
In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is the precursor molecule to FADH2. Upon bonding to two hydrogen atoms, FAD is then changed to FADH2 and is turned into an energy-carrying molecule. FAD accommodates two equivalents of Hydrogen; both the hydride and the proton ions.
The three-letter acronym FAD normally stands for flavin adenine dinucleotide.
