The role of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate in glycogen phosphorylase catalysis is reviewed under the headings: Experiments and interpretations concerning the role of pyridoxal phosphate in glycogen phosphorylase; Ionization changes of the phosphate group of pyridoxal phosphate on transition from inactive to active phosphorylase; Studies with glycosylic substrates; The amino acids participating in catalysis; and A mechanism for the phosphorylase reaction requiring the participation of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
