Abstract: Ferulic acid decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of phenylacrylic acid using a newly identified cofactor, prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN). The proposed mechanism involves the formation of a putative pentacyclic intermediate formed by a 1,3 dipolar cyclo-addition… read more here.
