Coenzyme F420 is one of the ancient and rare coenzymes. The unique electrochemical properties of F420 are compared with the ubiquitous flavin coenzymes FMN (flavin mononucleotide), FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide), and nicotinamide coenzyme NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). The 7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin core of F420 is structurally and biosynthetically related to FMN and FAD, but chemical reactions are similar to NADP+. The role of F420 and related ancient coenzymes and cofactors in methanogenesis and methanotrophic reactions in methane and short alkane oxidations is widely increasing to understand the mechanism of global warming and climate change.
