Seventeen cis-dominant mutations leading to riboflavin overproduction in Bacillus subtilis were localized to the region between nucleotides + 37 and + 159 relative to the transcription initiation site of the riboflavin operon. This region... more
Trauma transfusion packages for hemorrhage control consist of red blood cells, plasma, and platelets at a set ratio. Although pathogen reduction improves the transfusion safety of platelet and plasma units, there is an associated... more
We have complemented the riboB2 mutation of Aspergillus nidulans by transformation with a plasmid library of wild-type (wt) sequences. We have isolated, by marker rescue from a riboB+ transformant, a plasmid that complements riboB2... more
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of sows to high levels of dietary riboflavin. Responses evaluated were erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient (EGRAC, a biochemical indicator of riboflavin status)... more
Cupric chloride-triphenylphosphine complex reacts with riboflavin in alkaline medium giving an orange color having maximum absorbance at 460–465 nm and 1μg/ml as visual limit of identification. This color reaction has been utilized for... more
Riboflavin is a potent photosensitizer as well as part of the vitamin B complex. Recently we demonstrated that the products generated by irradiation of riboflavin have potential as anti-leukaemic therapy. The possible action, however, of... more
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a critical folate-metabolising enzyme which requires riboflavin as its co-factor. A common polymorphism (677C→T) in the MTHFR gene results in reduced MTHFR activity in vivo which in turn... more
Objective: Riboflavin UVA (collagen crosslinking [CXL]) treatment for keratoconus is a method for stabilizing or improving corneal properties. Our aim was to evaluate changes in corneal topography indices after CXL. Methods: A total of 38... more
