A determination method for individual natural vitamin B(6) compounds was developed. The vitamin B(6) compounds were specifically converted into 4-pyridoxolactone (PAL), a highly fluorescent compound, through a combination of enzymatic reactions and HCl-hydrolysis. PAL was then determined by HPLC. Pyridoxal was completely oxidized to PAL with pyridoxal 4-dehydrogenase (PLDH). Pyridoxine and pyridoxamine were totally converted into PAL through a coupling reaction involving pyridoxine 4-oxidase and PLDH, and one involving pyridoxamine-pyruvate aminotransferase and PLDH, respectively. The 5'-phosphate forms and pyridoxine-beta-glucoside were hydrolyzed with HCl, and then determined as their free forms. Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate and pyridoxine-beta-glucoside were not separately determined here. Three food samples were analyzed by this method.

    Basic 7S globulin, a cysteine-rich protein from soybean seeds, consists of subunits containing 27 kD and 16 kD chains linked by disulfide bonding. Three differently sized subunits of the basic 7S globulin were detected and partially separated by SP Sepharose chromatography. The basic 7S globulin was...

    We developed a simple and efficient synthesis for 4-pyridoxolactone starting with pyridoxine and using a whole-cell biotransformation by two transformed Escherichia coli cell types. One set of transformed cells expressed pyridoxine 4-oxidase, catalase, and chaperonin, while the second set expressed...
