An investigation into the catalytic mechanism of vitamin B6 biosynthesis using X-ray crystallography and UV-Vis spectroscopy

The catalytic mechanism of the Pdx1 subunit of the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) syn-thase enzyme complex has been the subject of intense study since its discovery in 1999. Pdx1 uses two active sites (P1 and P2) to perform a complex reaction combining ribose 5-phosphate, ammonia and glyceraldehyde 3-...
