Exploring the mechnisms of molecular recognition by flavins

The design and development of chemical models for enzymes depends on the fundamental principles observed in biological systems. Molecular recognition of flavins by various receptors has attracted attention due to their applications as chemical models for flavoenzymes. The area of molecular recognition is being investigated through research at the interface of chemistry and biology. In this review, the literature has been surveyed to provide comprehensive coverage of the synthetic methodology of different flavins and receptors and their molecular-recognition studies. Various applications of flavin–receptor complexes have also been highlighte
