Riboflavin 5'-monophosphate (FMN) is a coenzyme that is tightly bound to enzymes catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions in a variety of biosynthetic pathways. FMN also binds the FMN riboswitch (RFN element) on RNA to alter gene regulation. FMN is a substrate of FMN phosphohydrolases and is used to study their function.
5'-pGpG is a linearized form of cyclic di-GMP, a bacterial second messenger that activates the host innate immune system through stimulator of interferon genes (STING).1,2,3It is a metabolite of cyclic di-GMP formedviahydrolysis by various phosphodiesterases (PDEs) that binds to the cyclic di-GMP-I riboswitch with reduced affinity compared to cyclic di-GMP.4,55'-pGpG is intended for use as a negative control for cyclic di-GMP signaling.
