Abstract
The chemistry of the cofactors has provided a fertile area of overlap between organic chemistry and biochemistry, and the organic chemistry of the cofactors is now a thoroughly studied area. In contrast, the chemistry of cofactor biosynthesis is still relatively underdeveloped. In this review the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, riboflavin, folate, molyb-dopterin, thiamin, biotin, lipoic acid, pantothenic acid, coenzyme A, S-adenosylmethionine, pyridoxal phosphate, ubiquinone and menaquinone in E. coli will be described with a focus on unsolved mechanistic problems.
