Popis: The pteridine and (iso)alloxazine π systems are the underlying heterocyclic structures of coenzymatic constituents (pterins, lumazines, flavins) of oxidoreductase enzymes. These molecules are potential ligands for metal centers which, in the absence of additional coordination sites, bind predominantly through O(4) and N(5) to form five-membered, redox-active α -iminoketo chelate rings. Recent results from spectroscopic and electrochemical studies and structural data are summarized in this article.
