Example sentences for: dihydropteroate
How can you use “dihydropteroate” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) catalyzes the condensation of p -aminobenzoic acid with 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin pyrophosphate to give 7,8-dihydropteroate, an intermediate in folate metabolism.
It was acknowledged that MJ0107 (a member of COG0294) could be identified as a possible homolog of DHPS by sequence-based methods, and this protein was assayed for dihydropteroate synthase activity, but none was detected [ 25].
A case in point is the MJ0107 protein, the apparent archaeal ortholog of DHPS, which failed to show dihydropteroate synthase activity [ 25].
In contrast, most of the MJ0301 residues described as equivalent to the functionally important residues of Escherichia coli dihydropteroate synthase are not conserved, even among the archaeal orthologs of this protein.
