5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole synthase
5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole synthase is an enzyme with systematic name FMNH2 oxidoreductase . This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
The C-2 of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole is derived from C-1' of the ribityl group of FMNH2 and 2-H from the ribityl 1'-pro-S hydrogen. This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin in bacteria.
