Warning: this is a large structure, and loading might take a long time or not happen at all. Function[RISB_AQUAE] Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedProteins that self-assemble into regular shell-like polyhedra are useful, both in nature and in the laboratory, as molecular containers.
