6-CP-FAD is a functionalized analogue of the adenine-containing enzymatic redox cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). The terminal carboxy group of 6-CP-FAD can be used for coupling of various labels, dyes or supports with free amino groups. Via its corresponding succinimidyl ester, 6-CP-FAD can also be coupled to FAD-binding apo-proteins. References: Krzek et al., Enzyme Microb.
