Flavin adenine dinucleotide synthesis in isolated rat liver mitochondria caused by imported flavin mononucleotide.
Evidence is given in this paper that externally added flavin mononucleotide (FMN) induces flavin adenine dinucleotide synthesis in isolated rat liver mitochondria, as shown by fluorimetric, chromatographic, and enzymatic assays. FMN association with mitochondria is a process with hyperbolic features that is sensitive to externally added mersalyl.
