Tetrahydrofolate Recognition by the Mitochondrial Folate Transporter [PDF]
A mitochondrial carrier family (MCF) of transport proteins facilitates the transfer of charged small molecules across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The human genome has ∼50 genes corresponding to members of this family. All MCF proteins contain three repeats of a characteristic and conserved PX(D/E)XX(K/R) motif thought to be central to the ...

Tetrahydrofolat-spezifische Enzyme im Baustoffwechsel von Methanosarcina barkeri sowie die Rolle von Folsäure und p-Aminobenzoesäure als Wachstumsfaktoren in diesem Archaeon [PDF]
Tetrahydrofolat (H4F) spielt als Überträger von C1-Einheiten im Baustoffwechsel von allen Bacteria und Eucarya und von einigen Archaea eine wichtige Rolle in der Synthese von C1-Einheiten enthaltenden Verbindungen wie Purine, Thymidin und Methionin.

Metabolically Specific In Situ Fluorescent Visualization of Bacterial Infection on Wound Tissues [PDF]
The ability to effectively detect bacterial infection in human tissues is important for the timely treatment of the infection. However, traditional techniques fail to visualize bacterial species adhered to host cells in situ in a target-specific manner ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of one-carbon metabolism and cancers of the esophagus, stomach, and liver in a Chinese population. [PDF]
One-carbon metabolism (folate metabolism) is considered important in carcinogenesis because of its involvement in DNA synthesis and biological methylation reactions.

In plant cells, the interconversion of formyl- and methylene-tetrahydrofolates is catalyzed by a bifunctional protein possessing methenyltetrallydrofolate cydohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.9) and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.5) activities. The

Folate polyglutamylation is required for rice seed development [PDF]
In plants, polyglutamylated folate forms account for a significant proportion of the total folate pool. Polyglutamylated folate forms are produced by the enzyme folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS).

The Dissociation Constants of Tetrahydrofolic Acid
Six dissociable groups exist in tetrahydrofolic acid in the range H0 -3.0 to pH 14. The assignments in tetrahydrofolic acid by titrimetric and spectrophotometric comparisons with model compounds, p-aminobenzoylglutamic acid and 2-amino-6,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4-pteridinone, are as follows: acidic ionization of amide, pK' 10.5; N5, pK' 4.82; γ ...
