Abstract
A violet-fluorescent compound produced in addition to riboflavin by a partially purified enzyme preparation obtained from the spinach was identified as 6-methyl-8-ribityl-2,4,7-trioxo-hexahydropterdine. This compound was shown to be directly derived from 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine just like riboflavin.Keywords
