Definition of flavin in English:

flavin

noun ˈfleɪvɪnˈfleɪvɪn

Biochemistry

Any of a group of naturally occurring pigments including riboflavin. They have a tricyclic aromatic molecular structure.
Example sentencesExamples
- They measured the emission spectrum and attributed the autofluorescence to flavins.
- They reported peaks consistent with tryptophan, nicotinic coenzymes and flavins in both suspensions.
- Most studies of UVA and violet-blue light responses have implicated carotenoids and flavins as molecular photoreceptors.
- Studies performed on cultured mammalian cell lines demonstrate that most of the cell fluorescence arises from reduced pyridine nucleotides, flavins, and lipofuscin.
- Cellular flavins and flavin adenine dinucleotides and mononucleotides exist mostly as cofactors for enzymes involved in oxidation-reduction reactions.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Latin flavus 'yellow' + -in¹.
