Our previous studies revealed that the double mutant of CYP105A1 from Streptomyces griseolus, R73V/R84A, has a high ability to convert vitamin D_3(VD_3) to its biologically active form, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_3(1α,25(OH)_2D_3), suggesting the possibility of practical application of R73V/R84A to produce 1α,25(OH)_2D_3. Thus, we examined the expression of R73V/R84A in Streptomyces lividans TK23. As expected, the metabolites 25(OH)D_3 and 1α,25(OH)_2D_3 were detected in the recombinant S. lividans cell culture. In addition, novel polar metabolites 1α,25(R),26(OH)_3D_3 and 1α,25(S),26(OH)_3D_3, both of which were known to have a high antiproliferative activity and a low calcemic activity, were observed at a ratio of 5:1. The crystal structure of the double mutant with 1α,25(OH)_2D_3 and a conformational search of 1α,25(OH)_2D_3 in its active site strongly suggest that a novel hydrogen-bond network including 1α-hydroxyl group and several water molecules plays an important role in the substrate-binding for 26-hydroxylation. In conclusion, we demonstrated that R73V/R84A can catalyze hydroxylations at C25-, C1- and C26 (27) positions of VD_3 to produce biologically useful compounds.

Natural vitamin B_6 consists of six compounds which are pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine 5'-phosphate, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate. They show the same nutritional efficiency. Plant-derived foods contain pyridoxine-β-glucoside, a storage form of vitamin B_6. These compounds have chemically distinct functional groups. Many methods have been developed to determine them. Current application status and characteristics of microbiological methods, spectroscopic, fluorometric, electrochemical, and capillary electrophoretic methods, and liquid chromatographic, including HPLC, methods are commented. Advantages and disadvantages of several sample preparation methods for analysis of vitamin B_6 compounds are also described. Finally, a principle and protocols of a challenging method, all enzymatic HPLC method, which is applicable for determination of the individual vitamin B_6 compounds and pyridoxine-β-glucoside, is described.

Recently, the measurement of folic acid by automated immunoassay analyzer system was performed for the routine clinical laboratory tests in patients with pernicious anemia and other diseases. Measurement of serum folic acid has been reported to be an easy and rapid assay and highly precision for routine tests using the automated immunoassay analyzer system. For these immunoassays, it becomes the problem in the mean folic acid concentration in serum by the difference of the standard samples and a difference of the measurement methods. On the other hand, it indicates that the standardization measurement may provide a useful tool to measure folic acid concentration if the folic acid measurement by LC/MS or LC/MS/MS will spread in its routine method.
