This molecule is a reactant in the step producing tigloyl Co-A in isoleucine degradation and is used in the first step of proline degradation.
A key step in the synthesis of this molecule forms a lumazine derivative with a sugar side chain. That synthesis begins with GTP and ribulose-5-phosphate. This molecule is a reactant in the step producing tigloyl Co-A in isoleucine degradation and is used in the first step of proline degradation. This molecule is also used in the step after thiolysis and before hydration in the cycle of beta oxidation of fatty acids. It makes up part of dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, the third enzyme in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and is also necessary for the production of fumarate in the TCA cycle. For 10 points, name this cofactor which transfers electrons directly to Complex II, bypassing the first proton pump in the electron transport chain, and which is derived from vitamin B2.
