Description

A new enzymatic method for the synthesis of [14C]pyridoxal 5-phosphate is presented. [14C]Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate was synthesized from [14C]pyriodoxine through the successive actions of pyridoxal kinase and pyrdoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase in a reaction mixture containing ATP, [14C]pyridoxine, and both enzymes. [14C]Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate was isolated by omega-aminohexyl-Sepharose 6B column chromatography. The overall yield of the product was more than 60%, starting from 550 nmol of [14C]pyridoxine. The radiochemical purity of the products, as determined by thin-layer and ion-exchange chromatography, was greater than 98%
