| Application: | Riboflavin 5′-monophosphate (FMN) is used as a prosthetic group by oxidoreductase (one and two electron transfer) enzymes such as NADH dehydrogenases, nitric oxide synthases, and nitrilotriacetate monooxygenases. Riboflavin 5′-monophosphate is used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of FMN phosphohydrolases. FMN is used to study molecular sensing based gene regulation by riboswitches. |
| Application: | Riboflavin 5′-monophosphate sodium salt hydrate has been used: • in the study to examine FMN (flavin mononucleotide) photo-reduction in aqueous solutions • to immobilize on titanium oxide modified carbon fibre to determine its electrochemical behavior • in flavin identification |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Riboflavin 5′-monophosphate (FMN) acts as a cofactor in flavoproteins and possess biological activity in enzymes and photoreceptors. |
| General description: | Riboflavin 5′-monophosphate (FMN) is highly soluble in water. Flavins are considered as blue-light absorbing dyes. |
