Bioactivity | Pyridoxal phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6, acts as an inhibitor of reverse transcriptases, and is used for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate severely inhibits the DNA Polymerase and RNase H. Pyridoxal phosphate results in an imnediate reduction in the rate of DNA synthesis[1]. Conjugation to pyridoxal phosphate fully inhibits NEIL2. Pyridoxal phosphate-conjugated NEIL2 shows much lower activity than the intact enzyme over a wide range of enzyme/substrate ratios. After Pyridoxal phosphate conjugation, the ability of NEIL2 to bind the THF-ligand is completely lost[2]. | ||||||||||||
