Flavins are active components of many enzymes. In most cases, riboflavin (vitamin B2) as a coenzyme represents the catalytic part of the holoenzyme. Riboflavin is an amphiphatic molecule and allows a large variety of different interactions with the enzyme itself and also with the substrate. A great number of active riboflavin analogs can readily be synthesized by chemical methods and, thus, a large number of possible inhibitors for many different enzyme targets is conceivable. As mammalian and… CONTINUE READING
