This indicated that the bottleneck for riboflavin production very likely occurs in its biosynthetic pathway and thus suggested a focus for future metabolic engineering.
A good example of this is when the animal is placed on a riboflavin- or copper-deficient diet.
These included riboflavin, niacin and folic acid.
Milk is rich in nearly all the nutrients required for good health, and is an especially good source of energy, protein, calcium and riboflavin.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is riboflavin hydrolase.
A riboflavin-binding protein required for the transport of riboflavin to the developing oocyte in chicken also belong to this family.
Thus, riboflavin is not technically a nucleotide; the name "flavin adenine dinucleotide" is a misnomer.
Riboflavin deficiency is usually found together with other nutrient deficiencies, particularly of the other water-soluble vitamins.
