A) Reactions in B6 metabolism. Reaction 1, enzymes involved in the de novo biosynthesis of pyridoxine 5′-phosphate (PNP); Reaction 2, PNP oxidase; Reaction 3, reaction of apo-B6 enzymes with PLP to form active holo-B6 enzymes; Reaction 4, degradation of holo-B6 enzymes to amino acids and PLP; Reaction 5, PLP phosphatase; Reaction 6, PL kinase. B) Structures of B6 vitamers.
