title: Liver pyridoxal kinase-interaction with metal ions.
abstract: The binding of some mono- and divalent cations to liver pyridoxal kinase induces spectral changes. These changes in the UV absorption spectrum are consistent with our reported specificities of essential activation with K+ and NH+4 ions and low concentration of Zn2+ and much higher concentration of Mn2+.
