The 2009 ESBOC meeting covered advances in synthesis, biosynthesis and biological mechanisms of vitamins and cofactors. Recent exciting developments in the field include the development of 'green' chemistry for manufacture of vitamins, the discovery that some vitamins act directly to regulate gene expression via riboswitches, and initial attempts to exploit the potential of vitamin analogs as therapeutic drugs.
