Identification
Name: 7,8-Dihydropteroic acid
Description:7,8-dihydropteroate is an intermediate product in dihydrofolate synthesis. It occurs via the enzymic catalysis of the reaction of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropteridine pyrophosphate with p-aminobenzoate. The enzymes 6-hydroxymethylpterin pyrophosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.3, HPPK) and dihydropteroate synthase (EC 2.5.1.15, DHPS) catalyze sequential steps in folate biosynthesis.
