Pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP) is a very versatile cofactor in amino acid metabolism. Draw the structure of PLP on its own and as a Schiffbase linked with the amino acid serine.
Use your structure of the Schiffbase to point out three different reactions that could be catalyzed with the help of an enzyme after forming a Schiffbase between PLP and serine.

Both amino acid decarboxylase and tryptophan synthase are
enzymes involving pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) in their mechanisms.
There are both similarities and differences between the two
mechanisms. For each of the statements describing a mechanism
feature, indicate whether it is a feature of the decarboxylase, the
synthase, or both.

Use of Modern Molecular Techniques to Determine the Synthetic Pathway of a Novel Amino Acid. Most of the biosynthetic pathways described in our book were determined before the development of recombinant DNA technology and genomics, so the techniques were quite different from those that researchers would use today. Through this question, you will explore an example of the use of modern molecular techniques to investigate the pathway of synthesis of a novel amino acid, (2S)-4- amino-2-hydroxybutyrate (AHBA). AHBA is a...

Creating linked list data structure Overview The purpose of this assignment is for you to write a data structure called a Linked List, which utilizes templates (similar to Java’s generics), in order to store any type of data. In addition, the nature of a Linked List will give you some experience dealing with non-contiguous memory organization. This will also give you more experience using pointers and memory management. Pointers, memory allocation, and understand how data is stored in memory will...
