Cyclic-FMN Is a Detectable, Putative Intermediate of FAD Metabolism [PDF]
BiomoleculesFree flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is metabolized to flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and adenine monophosphate (AMP) by hydrolases and to 4′,5′-cyclic phosphoriboflavin (cFMN) and AMP by the triose kinase FMN cyclase (TKFC).

Caffeic Acid Inhibits the Formation of 7-Carboxyheptyl Radicals from Oleic Acid under Flavin Mononucleotide Photosensitization by Scavenging Singlet Oxygen and Quenching the Excited State of Flavin Mononucleotide [PDF]
Molecules, 2014 We examined the effects of caffeic acid (CA) and related compounds on 7-carboxyheptyl radical formation. This analysis was performed using a standard D2O reaction mixture containing 4.3 mM oleic acid, 25 μM flavin mononucleotide (FMN), 160 mM phosphate ...
