Model systems for flavoenzyme activity: an investigation of the role functionality attached to the C(7) position of the flavin unit has on redox and molecular recognition properties

Stuart T. Caldwell, Louis J. Farrugia, Shanika Gunatilaka Hewage, Nadiya Kryvokhyzha, Vincent M. Rotello and Graeme Cooke


We describe the role functionality attached to the C(7) position of a family of flavin derivatives has in tuning their redox and recognition properties and the subsequent exploitation of two of these derivatives as a three-component electrochemically controllable molecular switch.
