Dihydrokalafungin (Antibiotic YS-02931K-β) is a benzoisochromanequinone that used as a natural substrate in enzyme assays of the ActVB-ActVA system[1].
The quinone form of Dihydrokalafungin is not oxidized by the ActVA-ActVB system, whereas the corresponding hydroquinone is an excellent substrate[1].
