Description

Riboflavin 5?-monophosphate (FMN) is used as a prosthetic group by oxidoreductase (one and two electron transfer) enzymes such as NADH dehydrogenase, nitric oxide synthase, and nitrilotriacetate monooxygenase. Riboflavin 5?-monophosphate is used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of FMN phosphohydrolases and to study molecular sensing based gene regulation by riboswitches. It is a photoinitiator of polymerization for PAGE gels.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
