1-Deazariboflavin, is the derivative of (-)-Riboflavin (R414995), known as vitamin B2 .1-Deazariboflavin, can also be used in photosensitized cleavage of thymine dimer with reduced flavin, using as a model for enzymic photorepair of DNA. Reduced 1-deazariboflavin is not consumed during dimer cleavage.
