Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is a slow tight binding inhibitor of E. coli pyridoxal kinase.

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is a cofactor for dozens of B(6) requiring enzymes. PLP reacts with apo-B(6) enzymes by forming an aldimine linkage with the ε-amino group of an active site lysine residue, thus yielding the catalytically active holo-B(6) enzyme. During protein turnover, the PLP is...
