Molecular monitoring of the Leu-164 mutation of dihydrofolate reductase in a highly sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine-resistant area in Africa. [PDF]
The selection of point mutation at codon 164 (from isoleucine to leucine) of the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme in Plasmodium falciparum is associated with high sulfadoxine /pyrimethamine (SP) resistance.

DHFR2 RNA directly regulates dihydrofolate reductase and its expression level impacts folate one carbon metabolism. [PDF]
Dihydrofolate reductase activity is required in One Carbon Metabolism to ensure that the biologically active form of folate, tetrahydrofolate, is replenished and available as an enzyme cofactor for numerous cellular reactions, including purine and ...

Epidemic of Plasmodium falciparum malaria involving substandard antimalarial drugs, Pakistan, 2003. [PDF]
Because of instability in eastern Afghanistan, new refugees crossed into the federally administered tribal areas of northwestern Pakistan in 2002. In 2003, we investigated an epidemic of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in 1 of the camps.

Differences in Thermal Structural Changes and Melting Between Mesophilic and Thermophilic Dihydrofolate Reductase Enzymes [PDF]
A key aspect of life\u27s evolution on Earth is the adaptation of proteins to be stable and work in a very wide range of temperature conditions. A detailed understanding of the associated molecular mechanisms would also help to design enzymes optimized ...

Affinity chromatography of dihydrofolate reductase [PDF]
1. Dihydrofolate reductase was purified from Lactobacillus casei MTX/R, and studied on affinity columns containing folic acid and methotrexate. Two forms of the enzyme were interconverted by incubation with substrates. 2. Affinity columns were prepared from agarose activated with cyanogen bromide and coupled with 1,6-diaminohexane.

Mitochondrial Protein Import [PDF]
The role of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) in mitochondrial protein import was investigated with the precursors of N. crassa ADP/ATP carrier, F1-ATPase subunit β, F0-ATPase subunit 9, and fusion proteins between subunit 9 and mouse dihydrofolate ...

Tales of Dihydrofolate Binding to R67 Dihydrofolate Reductase
Homotetrameric R67 dihydrofolate reductase possesses 222 symmetry and a single active site pore. This situation results in a promiscuous binding site that accommodates either the substrate, dihydrofolate (DHF), or the cofactor, NADPH. NADPH interacts more directly with the protein as it is larger than the substrate.
