Abstract
Phosphotransferase from carrot is shown to catalyze the phosphorylation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine specifically at position 5' of the ribityl side chain. The lumazine 5'-phosphate is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor of riboflavin synthase from Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. It follows that the obligatory product of riboflavin synthase is riboflavin and not FMN.Entities:
