Biosynthesis of Flavins

TL;DR: The heterocyclic moieties of flavin and deazaflavin coenzymes are derived from a purine precursor by a common pathway with the intermediate 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione as the branching point.

Microbial production of riboflavin using riboflavin overproducers,Ashbya gossypii, Bacillus subtilis, andCandida famate: An overview

TL;DR: With respect to improved riboflavin production, the supplementation of GTP, a process-limiting precursor must be considered, and the development of pathways to strengthen GTP supplementation using biotechnological techniques remains an issue for future research.

Coenzyme A Biosynthesis and Enzymology

TL;DR: This chapter describes the discovery of CoA and the early studies on its biosynthesis and enzymology, and the current status of the knowledge of its universal five-step biosynthetic pathway from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) – including an overview of the variations in the pathway across sequenced genomes.

The present status of flavin and flavocoenzyme chemistry.

TL;DR: The term “flavin” stands for the yellow redox-active subgroup of the first coenzyme ever to be elucidated in terms of molecular structure, which has been shown to be riboflavin-5’-phosphate, a phosphate derivative of vitamin B2.
