Electrochemical reduction of methemoglobin either directly or with flavin mononucleotide as a mediator.
Electrochemical reduction of methemoglobin on a platinum electrode is studied by means of thin layer spectroelectrochemistry. For methemoglobin alone in solution, direct reduction is very slow even for potentials close to those of the reduction of the solvent. The reduction of a methemoglobin-oxyhemoglobin mixture with an imposed potential causes the electrochemical reduction of oxygen, the con...
متن کاملStopped flow studies on the nonenzymatic reduction of methemoglobin by reduced flavin mononucleotide.
The nonenzymatic reduction of methemoglobin by the reduced form of flavin mononucleotide was studied under various conditions by following the reaction with a stopped flow apparatus. The reaction was very fast, compared with the reduction of the flavin by NADPH-flavin reductase of human erythrocytes, and followed a second order rate law: the rate constant (K) for the reduction of methemoglobin ...
متن کاملInteraction of bacterial luciferase with 8-substituted flavin mononucleotide derivatives.
Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the emission of visible light from the reaction of reduced flavin, molecular oxygen, and an n-alkyl aldehyde. The mechanism of the reaction was probed by measuring the electronic effects of various substituents at the 8-position of the flavin ring system. Substituent effects were obtained for CH3-, Cl-, CH3O-, CH3S-, F-, and H- on the rate of formation and decay o...
متن کاملStudies on the binding and function of flavin phosphates with flavin mononucleotide-dependent enzymes.
The binding and function of FMN, 3,6,7-trimethyl-9(l’-o-ribityl)isoahoxazine 5’-phosphate (3-methyl-FMN), 6,7dichloro-9-(l’-o-ribityl)isoalloxazine 5’-phosphate (6,7-dichloro-FMN), and 6,7-dimethyl-9-(5’-hydroxypentyl)isoalloxazine 5’-phosphate (5’-hydroxypentyl-FMN) has been investigated with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate dehydrogenase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase fro...
متن کاملA biomimetic redox flow battery based on flavin mononucleotide
The versatility in design of redox flow batteries makes them apt to efficiently store energy in large-scale applications at low cost. The discovery of inexpensive organic electroactive materials for use in aqueous flow battery electrolytes is highly attractive, but is thus far limited. Here we report on a flow battery using an aqueous electrolyte based on the sodium salt of flavin mononucleotid...
