Lumazine synthase
text:
Lumazine synthase is an enzyme with systematic name 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil butanedionetransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction This reaction is part of the biosynthesis of riboflavin. Lumazine synthase is thus found in those organisms which produce riboflavin. Depending on the species, 5, 10 or 60 copies of the enzyme bind together to form homomers. In the case of 60 copies, the enzyme units form a icosahedral hollow cage. In some bacteria, this cage contains
