Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• Electron transferring flavoprotein is similarly stabilized, whereas egg white riboflavin-binding protein loses flavin more readily on reduction.
• The flavoprotein is unusual in that the oxidized form reacts slowly even with strong reducing agents (Na2S2O4) and is resistant to reduction beyond the half-reduced state; anaerobically prepared flavoprotein is exceptionally resistant to oxidation by molecular oxygen.
• In normal cells, a FAD-flavoprotein is found in a 1:2 molar ratio, with cytochrome b in the fractions containing the specific granules.
• The mutant flavoprotein is targeted to mitochondria, translocated across the mitochondrial membranes, and is assembled with the other subunits where it binds FAD non-covalently.
