Abstract: | The concentration dependence of the (1)H NMR chemical upfield shifts of the protons H6, H9, H7alpha, and H8alpha of the 7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine residue of flavin mononucleotide (FMN(2-)) has been measured and the self-stacking tendency of FMN(2-) was quantified with the isodesmic model of indefinite non-cooperative self-association. The stacking tendency of FMN(2-) is considerable and described in the concentration range of 0.0025-0.1 M with the indicated model by K = 27 +/- 15 M(-1) (25 degrees C; I = 0.1-0.3 M). This result is compared with related ones from the literature. The caveats regarding the self-stacking properties of FMN(2-) and their dependence on the concentration are discussed. |
