In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox-active coenzyme associated with various proteins, which is involved with several enzymatic reactions in metabolism. A flavoprotein is a protein that contains a flavin group, which may be in the form of FAD or flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Many flavoproteins are known: components of the succinate dehydrogenase complex, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
FAD exists in two common oxidation states, the fully oxidized form (FAD) and the fully reduced, dihydrogenated form, FADH2. Intermediate oxidation states also exist, including which are the flavin-N(5)-oxide and semiquinone states.[1] FAD, in its fully oxidized form, accepts two electrons and two protons to become FADH2. The semiquinone (FADH·) can be formed by either reduction of FAD or oxidation of FADH2 by accepting or donating one electron and one proton, respectively. Some proteins, however, generate and maintain a superoxidized form of the flavin cofactor, the flavin-N(5)-oxide.[2][3]
