(R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.8.3, BbsG, (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:(acceptor) oxidoreductase) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:electron transfer flavoprotein oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(R)-2-benzylsuccinyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein (E)-2-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein

This enzyme requires FAD as prosthetic group.
