ResumoAbstract— The rate of energy transfer from enzyme‐generated triplet acetone to riboflavin increases by three orders of magnitude when the flavin is charge‐transfer complexed with 3 ,5‐dihalogenotyrosines or with thyroxine. A very fast long‐range energy transfer to form the first excited singlet state of riboflavin in the complex, followed by a very efficient intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold, is postulated to account for the results.
