Recent Developments in Flavin-based Catalysis.

The article offers information on the recent developments in flavin-based catalysis. It informs that flavins can be excited by irradiation with the help of visible light which makes them stronger catalysts for oxidative processes. It also informs that flavins can be used in the reduction of olefins by catalyzing the formation of diimide as flavins show high thermal and chemical stability in the reduction processes.
