FMN binding

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Binding to flavin mono nucleotide. Flavin mono nucleotide (FMN) is the coenzyme or the prosthetic group of various flavoprotein oxidoreductase enzymes. [GOC:tb]

Flavin mononucleotide (FMN) binding is a fundamental molecular process that involves the non-covalent association of FMN with proteins. FMN, a crucial redox cofactor, participates in a wide range of biological reactions by accepting and donating electrons. The binding of FMN to proteins is typically mediated by specific amino acid residues, often within a conserved binding pocket. This interaction facilitates the transfer of electrons between FMN and the protein, enabling the protein to perform its catalytic or regulatory function. The binding event is typically governed by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. FMN binding can also influence the protein's conformation, thereby modulating its activity. The molecular function of FMN binding is diverse and essential for a myriad of cellular processes, including energy production, redox signaling, and detoxification. In the context of enzymatic reactions, FMN binding often facilitates the transfer of electrons, enabling the protein to catalyze the oxidation or reduction of substrates. In other instances, FMN binding can serve as a regulatory mechanism, controlling the protein's activity. Overall, FMN binding is a crucial molecular event that underpins a vast array of biological processes.'
