Associations of dihydrofolate with other chemical compounds

  • Substrate (dihydrofolate) and cofactor (NADPH) binding is also diminished for the mutant enzyme, although to a lesser extent (17.3- and 3.6-fold higher Km, respectively) [26].
  • In this paper, we report the use of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy to study the fluctuations in conformation of the anti-bacterial drug trimethoprim when it is bound to its "target," dihydrofolate reductase [27].
  • Tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis in plants: molecular and functional characterization of dihydrofolate synthetase and three isoforms of folylpolyglutamate synthetase in Arabidopsis thaliana [22].
  • Pyrimethamine (Pyr) targets dihydrofolate reductase of Plasmodium vivax (PvDHFR) as well as other malarial parasites, but its use as antimalarial is hampered by the widespread high resistance [28].
  • The total stabilization by leucine-54 of the transition state for hydride transfer is ca. 10(4)-fold (delta delta G approximately 5.4 kcal/mol) at subsaturating dihydrofolate levels relative to free enzyme despite its location some 10 A from the site of chemical reaction [29].
