Photo-induced reduction of flavin mononucleotide in aqueous solutions

open access: yesChemical Physics, 2007
The photo-induced reduction of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) in aqueous solutions is studied by absorption spectra measurement under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Polarography of flavine mononucleotide and flavine adenine dinucleotide

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1957
Abstract Flavine coenzymes FMN and FAD were studied polarographically. Both flavines show well-defined reversible polarographic waves consisting of a normal reduction wave and a “post” wave due to adsorption. The half-wave potentials of the normal reduction wave correspond to the standard oxidation-reduction potentials determined potentiometrically ...

Inhibition of the Photoreduction of Flavin Mononucleotide

Nature, 1963
IT has recently been suggested that 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (CMU) changes specifically the reactivity of excited flavin molecules but has no effect on the photoreduction of other dyes such as phthaleine dyes or methylene blue1. It was argued that the formation of a CMU–flavin complex may be responsible for this effect, particularly since ...

Ultrafast 2D-IR spectroelectrochemistry of flavin mononucleotide

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015
We demonstrate the coupling of ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy to electrochemistry in solution and apply it to flavin mononucleotide, an important cofactor of redox proteins. For this purpose, we designed a spectroelectrochemical cell optimized for 2D-IR measurements in reflection and measured the time-dependent 2D-IR spectra of

A thermodynamic description of the self-association of flavin mononucleotide

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1977
Abstract Systematic heat of dilution studies of the self-association of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) have been conducted as a function of ionic strength (0.05 – 2.0 m ) and pH (5–9) in aqueous solution. The data are adequately described by the expression Q T = ΔH − ( ΔH K ) 1 2 ( Q T c T ) 1 2 for an ...

Effects of Thyroxine Upon Biosynthesis of Flavin Mononucleotide and Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide

Endocrinology, 1969
In hyperthyroid rats, hepatic levels of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) were not increased above normal despite increased activity of the enzymes FAD pyrophosphorylase and flavokinase responsible for their synthesis. The activity of FMN phosphatase, which degrades FMN, was also slightly increased.

The molecular basis for complexation of adriamycin with flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1981
Abstract The interaction of Adriamycin with FMN or FAD was characterized using proton nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift, linewidth, and T1 relaxation rate measurements. Adriamycin produced saturable, concentration-dependent upfield shifts of the proton signals of both FMN and FAD.

The Air Oxidation of Catecholamines by Flavin Mononucleotide

Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1976
Abstract Polarographic studies of the aerobic oxidation of catecholamines under the influence of FMN in various concentrations, and spectrophotometric investigations of the formation of FMN–catecholamine complexes, have been carried out.

Controlling the Reactivity of Chlorinated Ethylenes with Flavin Mononucleotide Hydroquinone

Environmental Science & Technology, 2009
Reduction rate constants of the chlorinated ethylenes cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) reacted with flavin mononucleotide hydroquinone (FMNH2) under anoxic conditions were investigated. FMNH2 was produced in methanol solvent by the photoreduction of FMN.

A postulated mechanism for the bioluminescent oxidation of reduced flavin mononucleotide

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1972
Abstract A mechanism is presented for the luciferase catalyzed oxidation of reduced flavin mononucleotide with oxygen in the presence of long-chain aldehyde. The mechanism involves the formation of a flavin peroxy anion which attacks aldehyde. A Baeyer-Villiger type shift leads to oxidation of aldehyde to acid, and to formation of hydroxide and ...
