Pyridoxal 5´-phosphate (PLP) is the main form of vitamin B in animal tissue and functions as a coenzyme for more than 160 different enzymatic reactions in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and neurotransmitters. Estimated dietary intake of vitamin B and plasma PLP values differ a lot between studies, something which may be due to variable use of supplements, variations in dietary assessment and analytical methods. These factors make it difficult to achieve precise data for setting a correct recommended intake of vitamin B.

Methionine γ-lyase (MGL) breaks down methionine, with the help of its cofactor pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), or vitamin B6. Methionine depletion is damaging for cancer cells but not normal cells, so MGL is of interest as a therapeutic protein. To increase our understanding and help engineer improved activity, we focused on the reactive, Michaelis complex between MGL, covalently bound PLP, and substrate Met.
