Insights into the FMNAT Active Site of FAD Synthase: Aromaticity Is Essential for Flavin Binding and Catalysis
The last step in the biosynthesis of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is considered a target for the design of antimicrobial drugs because it is carried out by two non-homologous proteins in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Monofunctional FMN: adenylyltransferases (FMNAT) in Eukarya and FMNAT...
