Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate-dependent Catalytic Antibody [PDF]
Cofactors might efficiently extend the catalytic potential of antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies against Nalpha-phosphopyridoxyl-L-lysine were screened for: 1) binding of 5'-phosphopyridoxyl amino acids, 2) binding of Schiff base of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and amino acids, the first intermediate of all PLP-dependent reactions, and 3) catalysis of ...

Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate: electrophilic catalyst extraordinaire [PDF]
Studies of nonenzymatic electrophilic catalysis of carbon deprotonation of glycine show that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) strongly enhances the carbon acidity of alpha-amino acids, but that this is not the overriding mechanistic imperative for cofactor catalysis. Although the fully protonated PLP-glycine iminium ion adduct exhibits an extraordinary low

Vitamin B6 Acquisition and Metabolism in Schistosoma mansoni
Schistosomes are parasitic platyhelminths that currently infect >200 million people globally. The adult worms can live within the vasculature of their hosts for many years where they acquire all nutrients necessary for their survival and growth.

Pyridoxal-5′-Phosphate-Dependent Alkyl Transfer in Nucleoside Antibiotic Biosynthesis
Several nucleoside antibiotics are structurally characterized by a 5″-amino-5″-deoxyribose (ADR) appended via a glycosidic bond to a high-carbon sugar nucleoside (5′ S ,6′ S )-5′- C -glycyluridine (GlyU).

Pyridoxal in the Cerebrospinal Fluid May Be a Better Indicator of Vitamin B6–dependent Epilepsy Than Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate [PDF]
Background We aimed to demonstrate the biochemical characteristics of vitamin B6–dependent epilepsy, with a particular focus on pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and pyridoxal in the cerebrospinal fluid. Methods Using our laboratory database, we identified patients

Competition of Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate with Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate and Effector Sugar Phosphates at the Reaction Centers of the Spinach Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase [PDF]
The Stimulation of the carboxylase reaction by effectors of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxyl ase/oxygenase displays higher sensitivity towards pyridoxal 5'-phosphate inhibition than the catalytical process itself. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate binding to the

Studies on the changes in protein fluorescence and enzymic activity of aspartate aminotransferase on binding of pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate [PDF]
1. The a and ,B subforms of aspartate aminotransferase were purified from pig heart. 2. The a subform contained 2mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The apo-(a subform) could be fully reactived by combination with 2mol of cofactor. 3.
