Abstract
⺠Unique interaction specificity of ZnS nanoparticles with flavins has been explored. ⺠Unlike protein-bound flavin, fluorescence of free flavins was quenched by ZnS nanoparticles. ⺠FMN and FAD show quenching to different extents under analogous conditions. ⺠Fluorescence lifetime measurement confirmed the quenching to be static in nature. ⺠This study is useful for probing riboflavin in biological systems.
