Biosynthesis of the thiamin thiazole in Bacillus subtilis: identification of the product of the thiazole synthase-catalyzed reaction.

In this paper, we describe an optimized reconstitution of the thiamin thiazole synthase (ThiG) catalyzed reaction and demonstrate that the enzymatic product is an unanticipated dearomatized thiazole tautomer.
