Flavin-Adenine Dinucleotide

A condensation product of riboflavin and adenosine diphosphate. The coenzyme of various aerobic dehydrogenases, e.g., D-amino acid oxidase and L-amino acid oxidase. (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p972)

Also Known As:

FAD; Flavitan; Dinucleotide, Flavin-Adenine; Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide; Riboflavin 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-5'-ester with adenosine
