Intermediate-Assisted Multifunctional Catalysis in the Conversion of Flavin to 5,6-Dimethylbezimidazole by BluB: A Density Functional Theory Study.

BluB is a distinct flavin destructase that catalyzes a complex oxygen-dependent conversion of reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNH) to form 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), the lower ligand of vitamin B. The catalyzed mechanism remains a challenge due to the discrepancy between the complexity of the...
