In the two years which have passed since we wrote a review letter on this subject [l] advances in the field of 8cr-substituted flavins have been so rapid that a brief summary of major new developments seems desirable. Updating of our review letter is timely, moreover, because the structure of the fourth class of covalently-bound flavins, previously thought to be 8o-AQistidyl-8a-hydroxyriboflavin, has just been conclusively identified as 8o-[iV (1) histidyl]-riboflavin [2] and this, in turn, necessitates revision of earlier ideas on the influence of acid on 8a-[N (3)-histidyl]-riboflavin. Further, a number of interesting applications of accrued knowledge concerning covalentlybound flavins have been reported very recently. The present article is intended to call attention to these developments. It is only a supplement to our previous review [1], however, to which reference will be made throughout, and to which the reader is referred for a systematic coverage of the field, while the history of the development of the field has been surveyed elsewhere [3].
