'''Flavin mononucleotide''' ('''FMN'''), or '''riboflavin-5′-phosphate''', is a [[biomolecule]] produced from [[riboflavin]] (vitamin B<sub>2</sub>) by the enzyme [[riboflavin kinase]] and functions as the [[prosthetic group]] of various [[oxidoreductase]]s, including [[NADH dehydrogenase]], as well as cofactor in biological blue-light photo receptors. During the catalytic cycle, a reversible interconversion of the oxidized (FMN), semiquinone (FMNH<sup>•</sup>), and reduced (FMNH<sub>2</sub>) forms occurs in the various oxidoreductases. FMN is a stronger oxidizing agent than [[Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NAD]] and is particularly useful because it can take part in both one- and two-electron transfers. In its role as blue-light photo receptor, (oxidized) FMN stands out from the 'conventional' photo receptors as the signaling state and not an E/Z isomerization. | '''Flavin mononucleotide''' ('''FMN'''), or '''riboflavin-5′-phosphate''', is a [[biomolecule]] produced from [[riboflavin]] (vitamin B<sub>2</sub>) by the enzyme [[riboflavin kinase]] and functions as the [[prosthetic group]] of various [[oxidoreductase]]s, including [[NADH dehydrogenase]], as well as cofactor in biological blue-light photo receptors.
