Identification
Name:Dihydroneopterin aldolase
Synonyms:
  • DHNA
Gene Name:folB
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in dihydroneopterin aldolase activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin to 6- hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin. Can use L-threo-dihydroneopterin and D-erythro-dihydroneopterin as substrates for the formation of 6-hydroxymethyldihydropterin, but it can also catalyze the epimerization of carbon 2' of dihydroneopterin and dihydromonapterin at appreciable velocity
