Radio-ligand binding

The riboflavin binding protein that occurs in eggs has been exploited for the radio-ligand binding assay of riboflavin. Because binding to the protein quenches the native fluorescence of riboflavin, it can be exploited for a direct titrimetric fluorescence assay of the vitamin in urine and other biological samples (Kodentsova et al., 1995).
