In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox cofactor involved in several important reactions in metabolism. FAD 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 (a net gain of two electrons):

FAD (fully oxidized form, or quinone form) accepts two electrons and two protons to become FADH2 (hydroquinone form). FADH2 can then be oxidized to the semireduced form (semiquinone) FADH by donating one electron and one proton. The semiquinone is then oxidized once more by losing an electron and a proton and is returned to the initial quinone form (FAD).

FAD is an aromatic ring system, whereas FADH2 is not. This means that FADH2 is significantly higher in energy, without the stabilization that aromatic structure provides. FADH2 is an energy-carrying molecule, because, if it is oxidized, it will regain aromaticity and release all the energy represented by this stabilization.

The primary biochemical role of FADH2 in eukaryotes is to carry high-energy electrons used for oxidative phosphorylation. FAD is a prosthetic group in the enzyme complex succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) that oxidizes succinate to fumarate in the eighth step of the citric acid cycle. The high-energy electrons from this oxidation are stored momentarily by reducing FAD to FADH2. FADH2 then reverts to FAD, sending its two high-energy electrons through the electron transport chain; the energy in FADH2 is enough to produce 1.5 equivalents of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. Another metabolic source of FADH2 is beta oxidation, where FAD serves as a coenzyme to acyl CoA dehydrogenase.

Any oxidoreductase enzyme that uses FAD as an electron carrier is called a flavoprotein. There are many flavoproteins besides components of the succinate dehydrogenase complex, including α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

What do you predict will be the next fad for the American Church?
Q. We've had pentecostalism and the charismatic movement, Faith healing, television ministry, christian rock, the Jesus Movement (hippy), the Purpose Driven Church, the name it and claim it prosperity (word of Faith) movement, the Toronto blessing (christian laughter and barking lol), Christian mail order, Christian politics, Potter house, Christian Yoga and Martial arts, Christian movies and fiction, bible prophecy seems to make a comeback every generation, etc. What do you think the next big money making christian fad will be?

Are Asian American Women attractive and will you marry one or two?
Q. Asian American Women who act black (hip hop culture) or white (with nose up in the air) are not attractive? They are not attractive to this asian american chinese. Why you may ask? Because these women try too hard to fit into America Culture, a culture that is nothing to respect, American culture is made up of sex, drugs, egonicities, popularity based on artificial qualities and traits, american culture is about outward appearance, not hidden ideals. Therefore these women go to clubs to gyrate to attract men by showing off sex organs and simulate how those organs are used in intercourse, also they put on tatoos and pierce their bodies with all kinds of junk to say "please look at me" I need your attention. American culture is… [cont.]

A. Wow, I thought I'd heard the end of this routine with black women complaining about black men and vice versa. Seems for a decade or so there was a huge upset because the black men were going after the white women and the black women were dating the white men and the white people had no problem with it. It was the black population that was throwing a fit! Seems that Asian men (or at least one very needy one) are kind of jealous and upset that they aren't good enough in the eyes and minds of Asian women who live in the United States of America. Oh, and it helps to educate yourself. There are two Americas. North and South. We are ALL Americans. You just demonstrated extreme bigotry and an utter lack of any understanding of the map, but then… [cont.]
