the enzyme reduces both nitrofurazone and FMN effectively, see for EC 1.5.1.38, it is bifunctional as flavin reductase and nitroreductase. Two different FMN molecules are involved in the FMN reduction process: FMN tightly associated to the enzyme as prosthetic group and FMN as a substrate. The enzyme is also active with FAD, riboflavin, and lumiflavin, the two latter give the highest activity

NADPH-dependent reduction of quinones, cf. EC 1.6.5.5, and nitroaromatic compounds by NfsA, overview. The reactivity of nitroaromatic compounds (log kcat/Km) follows a linear dependence on their single-electron reduction potential, indicating a limited role for compound structure or active site flexibility in their reactivity. The reactivity of quinones is lower than that of nitroaromatics having similar single-electron reduction potential values, except for the significantly enhanced reactivity of 2-OH-1,4-naphthoquinones. The reduction of quinones by NfsA is most consistent with a single-step (H-) hydride transfer mechanism, quantitative analysis of two-electron reduction of quinones and nitroaromatics, overview
