Identification
Name: FADH2
Description:FADH2 is a reduced form of Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). FAD is a redox cofactor involved in several important reactions in metabolism. It can exist in two different redox states, which it converts between by accepting or donating electrons. The molecule consists of a riboflavin moiety (vitamin B2) bound to the phosphate group of an ADP molecule. The flavin group is bound to ribitol, a sugar alcohol, by a carbon-nitrogen bond, not a glycosidic bond. Thus, riboflavin is not technically a nucleotide; the name flavin adenine dinucleotide is a misnomer. FAD can be reduced to FADH2, whereby it accepts two hydrogen atoms.
