Abstract

The two transformylase enzymes in de novo purine biosynthesis require 10-formyl-H4folate as a cofactor, but can utilize efficiently differing synthetic analogs allowing their selective assay or inhibition. They, with a multifunctional enzyme responsible for cofactor synthesis, constitute a unique and possibly interacting subset within the de novo pathway.
