Thermodynamic parameters of the binding of retinol to binding proteins and to membranes.

abstract：:Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used to study milk xanthine oxidase, an enzyme containing molybdenum, binuclear iron-sulfur clusters, and FAD as cofactors. The contribution of FAD dominates the resonance Raman spectrum at frequencies above 500 cm-1. As expected, no bands assignable to FAD are observed in deflavo...
