“The present results show that cysteine can facilitate the survival of F. prausnitzii upon exposure to air, and that this effect is significantly enhanced the by addition of riboflavin and the cryoprotectant inulin.”
“Combinations of riboflavin and cysteine (doses of 20 and 400 and of 10 and 200 mg/kg, respectively) provided from 2.7 to 4.9% ( p < 0.001) protection, while 800 mg of AIC or 400 mg of cysteine per kg alone with DIC did not protect.”
“As with other LOV domains, an absorption spectral change associated with an adduct formation between its chromophore flavin mononucleotide ) and a cysteine residue was observed with a time constant of 1.1 μs.”

“The proximity of the cysteine to FMN thus not only enables formation of a covalent adduct between FMN and cysteine, but also facilitates the rapid electronic formation of the reactive FMN triplet state.”
