EFFECTS OF X-RAYS AND GAMMA RAYS ON RIBOFLAVIN, FLAVIN MONONUCLEOTIDE AND FLAVIN ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE

Abstract

Investigations were made on the effects of X-rays or γ-rays irradiation on the aqueous solutions of riboflavin, FMN and FAD. The free riboflavin was destroyed most rapidly by the irradiation, followed by FMN and FAD was most stable.
