Dihydrofolic Acid Reductase

Nature, 1958
THE enzymatic reduction of dihydrofolic acid (FH2) to tetrahydrofolic acid (FH4) has been reported by several investigators1–3. Futterman1 noted that dihydrofolic acid was reduced by chicken liver extracts when either reduced di- or tri-phospho-pyridine nucleotide served as the co-factor. We have found that the rate of reduction of dihydrofolic acid by

Dismutation of dihydrofolate by dihydrofolate reductase

Biochemistry, 1984
Degradation of 7,8-dihydrofolate (H2folate) in the presence of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) has been shown due not to an oxygenase activity of the reductase as previously reported but to dismutation of H2folate to folate and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate (H4folate). The reaction can be followed spectrophotometrically or by analysis of the reaction mixture

How Dihydrofolate Reductase Facilitates Protonation of Dihydrofolate

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2003
Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) catalyzes the reduction of dihydrofolate (H2F) to tetrahydrofolate. On the basis of 10-12.5 ns molecular dynamics simulations of two conformations (closed and occluded) of the ternary DHFR/NADPH/H2F complex from Escherichia coli and a free energy perturbation approach, we have calculated the pKa value for the N5 atom in ...

Life without dihydrofolate reductase FolA

Trends in Microbiology, 2003
Reduced folate derivatives participate in numerous reactions of bacterial intermediary metabolism. Consequently, the well-characterized enzyme implicated in the formation of tetrahydrofolate--dihydrofolate reductase FolA--was considered to be essential for bacterial growth.
