title: Determination of the stereochemistry of hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD catalyzed by VlmR, a flavin reductase from the valanimycin biosynthetic pathway.
abstract: [structure: see text]. The stereospecificity of hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD catalyzed by VlmR, a flavin reductase from the valanimycin biosynthetic pathway has been determined. By using stereospecifically deuterated NADPH, it has been shown that the 4-pro R hydrogen of NADPH is transferred.
