Explore: Pyridoxal

Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, P5P), the active form of vitamin B6, is a coenzyme in a variety of enzymatic reactions. The International

Pyridoxal (PL) is one form of vitamin B6. Some medically relevant bacteria, such as those in the genera Granulicatella and Abiotrophia, require pyridoxal

which can be interconverted in biological systems. Its active form, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, serves as a coenzyme in more than 140 enzyme reactions in

In enzymology, a pyridoxal kinase (EC 2.7.1.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ATP + pyridoxal ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }

enzyme pyridoxal phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.74) catalyzes the reaction pyridoxal 5′-phosphate + H2O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } pyridoxal + phosphate

four transsulfuration enzymes require vitamin B6 in its active form (pyridoxal phosphate or PLP). Three of these enzymes (cystathionine γ-synthase excluded)

In enzymology, a pyridoxal 4-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.107) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction pyridoxal + NAD+ ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons

In enzymology, a pyridoxal oxidase (EC 1.2.3.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction pyridoxal + H2O + O2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons

be gained from the results of theoretical calculations. For example, pyridoxal phosphate, a form of vitamin B6, in aqueous solution is predicted to have

(PCA). Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a precursor of coenzymes including pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), which accelerates the metabolic degradation of ethanol
