Determination of the acid dissociation constant of cytochrome B5 reductase

Date Issued:

Summary:
Most living organisms transduce electron transport chains in order to obtain energy. Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a common electron transfer cofactor found in electron transport proteins referred to as flavoproteins. In this study, the different ionization and oxidation states of this cofactor found in cytochrome b5 reductase were identified spectroscopically and quantified as a function of solution potential and pH. The large data sets obtained from these experiments were analyzed and the acid dissociation constant for reduced cytochrome b5 reductase was determined.
