Adaptive Laboratory Evolution of Flavin Functionality Identifies Dihydrolipoyl Dehydrogenase as One of the Critical Points for the Activity of 7,8-Didemethyl-Riboflavin as a Surrogate for Riboflavin in <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Adaptive Laboratory Evolution of Flavin Functionality Identifies Dihydrolipoyl Dehydrogenase as One of the Critical Points for the Activity of 7,8-Didemethyl-Riboflavin as a Surrogate for Riboflavin in <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Riboflavin analogs lacking one methyl group (7α or 8α) can still serve as a surrogate for riboflavin in riboflavin-deficient microorganisms or animals. The absence of both methyl groups at once completely abolishes this substitution capability. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind this pheno...
