Abstract
A distinct energy transfer between the deazaflavin and the flavin is observed in compounds that mimic the DNA repair function of DNA-photolase enzymes (see sketch). Studies on these models prove that the deazaflavin acts solely as photoantenna and suggest that the two cofactors have to be separated within the enzyme to suppress a competitive intercofactor electron transfer reaction. © 1998 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, Weinheim, Fed.
