Summary:•New plasmonic platform is successfully constructed.•Emission enhancement of FMN is observed.•Shortening of lifetime of FMN is observed. New plasmonic platform was successfully obtained to investigate the increase of fluorescence intensity of a fluorophore in the presence of silver nanoparticles. A flavin mononucleotide, was selected by us as a fluorophore for this study as a very important biological compound playing a key role in many biochemical process. Plasmonic platforms were characterized by means of luminescence spectroscopy. Flavin mononucleotide deposited on plasmonic platform exhibits dramatic emission enhancements in presence of silver nanoparticles deposited on gold mirror.
