The flavin component of soluble hydrogenase (hydrogen: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.12.1.2) from Alcaligenes eutrophus was identified as FMN by thin layer chromatography in two solvent systems and by binding studies with apoflavodoxin from Megasphaera elsdenii. The flavin of hydrogenase reacted rapidly with apoflavodoxin with almost complete quenching of the fluorescence at 525 nm. Quantitative determination of FMN was performed by fluorimetric titration with a standardized solution of apoflavodoxin. From the determined FMN content of different enzyme preparations and from the percentage of stimulation of hydrogenase activity by exogenous FMN it is concluded that hydrogenase contains 2 FMN per molecule.
