5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole synthase (EC 1.14.99.40, BluB) is an enzyme with system name FMNH2 oxidoreductase (5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole forming).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- FMNH2 + NADH + H+ + O2 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole + D-erythrose 4-phosphate + NAD+ + other product
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.
