During the catalytic reactions of flavoprotein hydroxylases and bacterial luciferase, flavin peroxides were formed as intermediates were reported elsewhere. These intermediates were postulated to be C(4a) derivatives of the flavin coenzyme. To test this hypothesis, modified flavin coenzymes carrying an O substituent at position C(4a) of the isoalloxazine ring were synthesized. They are tightly bound by the apoenzymes of pig kidney D-amino acid oxidase, Pseudomonas fluorescens p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase and Mycobacterium smegmatis lactate oxidase; the resulting complexes showed spectral properties closely similar to those of the transient O adducts of the hydroxylases. The optical spectra of the lumiflavin model compounds were highly dependent on the solvent environment and nature of the substituents. Under appropriate conditions they simulated satisfactorily the spectra of the transient enzymatic O adducts. The results supported the proposal that the primary O adducts formed with these flavoproteins on reaction of the reduced enzymes with O are flavin C(4a) peroxides.
