   Abstract : Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is biosynthesized in plants, bacteria, archaea and fungi. The primary biological function of riboflavin is related to its existence as a component of the two coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which play an important role for electron transfer in energy metabolism.

   Abstract : Interactions between viral coat proteins determine the size and shape of the virus capsid. Therefore, the plain closed shell of a spherical virus provides an excellent resource for studying and testing protein-protein interactions so as to reveal the properties that lead to symmetrical capsids or other shapes.
