Pyridoxal phosphate molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate. Pyridoxal phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6. It acts as an electron sink to stabilise carbanionic intermediates in both substitution and elimination reactions involving aminated compounds. Atoms are represented as colour-coded spheres: carbon (grey/light blue), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red/orange), nitrogen (blue) and phosphorus (yellow).
