Abstract: Vitamin B2 transporter revealed The X-ray crystal structure of a riboflavin (vitamin B2) membrane transporter, a member of the important energy-coupling factor (ECF) family, has been determined. The structure of the membrane-embedded substrate-binding domain of the transporter from Staphylococcus aureus reveals a previously unreported fold, with the riboflavin molecule bound to a loop and to the periplasmic portion of several transmembrane segments.
