title: Resonance Raman study on the flavin in the purple intermediates of D-amino acid oxidase.
abstract: Resonance Raman (RR) spectra were measured for the purple intermediates of D-amino acid oxidase reconstituted with isotopically labelled FAD's, i.e., [4a-13C]-, [4,10a-13C2]-, [2-13C]-, [5-15N]-, and [1,3-15N2]flavin adenine dinucleotides, and compared with those with the native enzyme. The RR lines around 1605 cm-1 with D-alanine or D-proline as a substrate and at 1548 cm-1 with D-alanine undergo isotopic shifts upon [4a-13C]- and [4,10a-13C2]-labelling. These lines are assigned to the vibrational modes associated with C(10a) = C(4a) - C(4) = O moiety of reduced flavin, providing the first assignment of RR lines of reduced flavin and conclusive evidence that reduced flavin is involved in this intermediate.
