    Sarcosine oxidase from Corynebacterium sp. U-96 is a heterotetrameric enzyme that was reported to contain 1 mol of covalently bound FAD and 1 mol of non-covalently-bound FAD. This work describes the result of reinvestigation of the cofactors in this enzyme. The enzyme was found to contain 1 mol of non-covalently-bound NAD+, 1 mol of non-covalently-bound FAD, and 1 mol of covalent FMN. The covalent FMN was identified by the mass and amino acid sequence analyses of the flavin peptide.
