Abstract excerpt

We propose a pathway leading from erythrose-4-phosphate and glutamate to nitrogen 1 and carbons 5,5', and 6 of the pyridoxine ring. This pathway, which parallels the phosphorylated pathway of serine biosynthesis, is predicted on the homology between PdxB and SerA, the structural similarity betwee...
