The rates of reaction of 5-ethyl-3-methyllumiflavinium perchlorate and 5-ethyl-3-methyllumiflavinyl radical with a NADH analogue, N-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide, were measured anaerobically in tert-butanol and 5% acetonitrile/95% tert-butanol solutions at 30 degrees C. The biphasic kinetics observed for the reaction of flavin radical with dihydronicotinamide were interpreted in terms of both a 1e- and a 2e- mechanism; the former was found to be inadequate based on experimental requirements of the mechanism. The dihydronicotinamide reacts preferentially with oxidized flavin rather than flavin radical, even when the concentration of oxidized flavin is at a concentration 5 orders of magnitude less than that of radical. These studies show that the "hydride" reduction of oxidized flavin by BNAH is more facile than is the 1e- reduction of flavin radical by BNAH.
在30℃下,于叔丁醇以及5%乙腈/95%叔丁醇溶液中,对高氯酸5-乙基-3-甲基荧光黄素鎓与5-乙基-3-甲基荧光黄素基与NADH类似物N-苄基-1,4-二氢烟酰胺的反应速率进行了厌氧测定。观察到的黄素基与二氢烟酰胺反应的双相动力学可根据单电子和双电子机制来解释;基于该机制的实验要求,发现前者并不充分。即使氧化型黄素的浓度比自由基的浓度低5个数量级,二氢烟酰胺仍优先与氧化型黄素而非黄素基发生反应。这些研究表明,BNAH对氧化型黄素的“氢化物”还原比BNAH对黄素基的单电子还原更容易。
