Nitroreductases are a family of evolutionarily related proteins involved in the reduction of nitrogen-containing compounds including those containing the nitro functional group. Members of this family utilise FMN as a cofactor and are often found to be homodimers.Members of this family include oxygen-insensitive NAD(P)H nitroreductase (FMN-dependent nitroreductase) (67-dihydropteridine reductase) (EC 1.5.1.34) and NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3).
