Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and FMN, whereas its two products are diphosphate and FAD.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:FMN adenylyltransferase. This enzyme participates in riboflavin metabolism.

gollark: Power concentrated like that is *inherently* pretty bad because it could be misused at some point.
gollark: Suuuuuure.
gollark: If people believe things which cause them to make stupider decisions, too bad, they shouldn't do that.
gollark: Maybe with children, sure, as they can't really meaningfully decide very well.
