| Application: | Phenazine methosulfate is used with ascorbic acid to determine nitric oxide reductase activity. Phenazine methosulfate has been used: • as a component of succinate dehydrogenase enzyme substrate solution • to induce superoxide radical generation in red blood cell suspensions and to study its influence on RBC deformability • as a component of complex II histochemistry media |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phenazine m ethosulfate (PMS) acts as a good electron acceptor. PMS is reduced non-enzymatically by (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) NADH and (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) NADPH. |
| General description: | Phenazines are heterocyclic compounds produced as secondary metabolites by bacteria. |
