Table 1.
Role of flavin cofactor | Flavin redox state * | Enzymes |
---|---|---|
Acid/base chemistry | FMNred | Type II isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase |
Radical/base | FMNred | Chorismate synthase |
Nucleophile/scaffold | FADred | UDP-galactopyranose mutase |
Electrophile/scaffold | FADox | Alkyl-dihydryoxyacetonephosphate synthase |
red = reduced; ox = oxidized.
